Seven Weeks on Nikolaiberg
Kultursommer Wartenberg is the cultural summer institution of the market town of Wartenberg in the Erding district. For over seven weeks — from mid-June to the end of July — the market town uses Nikolaiberg, a small hill above the Strogen river, as a venue for a packed program of concerts, cabaret, open-air cinema, and theatre.

Nikolaiberg as a Stage
Nikolaiberg is a small hill in the market town of Wartenberg, offering a picturesque view over the Strogen valley. The open-air stage is set up every summer and is available in a relaxed atmosphere — with benches, standing room, and the option to bring camping chairs or blankets. In case of bad weather, events will be moved to the Strogenhalle.
Wartenberg in the Erding District
Wartenberg is a market town in the Erding district, located about 30 km northeast of Munich — easily accessible from Munich Airport and the Region 14 (Erding, Freising). Kultursommer is one of the market town's central cultural events, attracting thousands of visitors annually.
Kultursommer — edition 2026
The 2026 edition of Kultursommer Wartenberg continues the market town's long-standing series on Nikolaiberg. Over seven weeks, rock festivals, cabaret, family theatre, and benefit concerts alternate — all in a relaxed open-air atmosphere above the Strogen valley.
Highlights include the cabaret show on July 17 with the Wellküren ("Stubnpunk") and Stefan Kröll, as well as the Keltania benefit concert on July 31, the proceeds of which will benefit the kindergarten's music education.
