Kulturkick Regensburg

Spring Culture Under One Roof

Kulturkick Regensburg is not a classic festival, but a joint marketing umbrella: Since 2022, the city has been bundling all cultural events taking place between January and April in the World Heritage City under this label. Initiated by Regensburg Tourismus GmbH in cooperation with the Cultural Department, Kulturkick aims to strengthen the touristically rather weak winter months and at the same time give the local audience an overview of the diverse programme.

Diversity from Jazz to Light Art

A wide variety of formats gather under this umbrella. Among the best known are the international jazz festival Sparks & Visions, the light art festival RE.LIGHT (light installations in the Old Town), the immersive show INFINITY Regensburg in the Minoritenkirche, the Bavarian Theatre Days, the International Short Film Week Regensburg, the film festival HARD:LINE, the Drumweekend Regensburg and premieres from the current schedule of the Regensburg Theatre — from operetta and opera to spoken theatre.

City, Venues and Atmosphere

The stage is the World Heritage Old Town with its over 1,500 listed buildings — the Minoritenkirche, the Regensburg Theatre, the Donaubühne, the Velodrom, the Garbo cinema and many other venues are used. For RE.LIGHT's light installations, the city itself becomes the stage: facades, bridges, squares and alleys host the installations.

Regensburg — World Heritage on the Danube

Regensburg, with almost 160,000 inhabitants, is the capital of the Upper Palatinate administrative region in the state of Bavaria, located at the northernmost point of the Danube and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The medieval Old Town with its Stone Bridge, Cathedral and landmarks such as the Golden Tower provides an extraordinary setting for a spring cultural programme. Kulturkick consistently leverages this aura.
