Kultur findet Stadt — Open-Air Series Museumshof Fulda

One of Hesse's most beautiful open-air stages

The Museumshof Fulda is located in the middle of the baroque old town, framed by the Vonderau Museum, the city palace wall, and old trees. It is precisely into this courtyard that the Fuldaer Zeitung relocates its open-air series "Kultur findet Stadt" year after year — transforming the inner courtyard into an intimate, acoustically dense concert arena.

What awaits you

The series is deliberately broad: Pop, Indie, Rock, Schlager, Reggae, Chanson, Medieval Rock, Hip-Hop, children's concerts, and cabaret alternate over just under two weekends. Most evenings are held as standing shows for around 2,000 visitors, while individual concerts (cabaret, quieter acts) are seated for about 900 guests. A raised platform for wheelchair users is available.

From city magazine to festival brand

What began as a small summer series is now a firm fixture in Fulda's summer cultural calendar. For years, the team has mixed young bands with established stars, regional acts with international headliners. Max Herre & Joy Denalane, LaBrassBanda, Culcha Candela, FAUN, and Bosse have all graced the stage — and in 2026, Philipp Poisel, Zaz, Gentleman, Beyond the Black, and Subway to Sally + Schandmaul are among those scheduled.

Enjoyment and atmosphere

Between sets, partner caterers provide wines, regional beers, cocktails, and non-alcoholic drinks. The baroque courtyard, warm summer evenings, and the feeling of experiencing a festival in the middle of the city rather than on a green field are what make "Kultur findet Stadt" so appealing.

Fulda as a festival city

In 2026, Fulda is already a top cultural city in Hesse as the host of the 63rd Hessentag (June 12–21). "Kultur findet Stadt" immediately follows this atmosphere in August — those who missed the Hessentag get a second chance for a grand live experience in the cathedral city at the Museumshof.
