Four-week cultural series in the historic Lamspringe Abbey under the motto 'Shaping the Future'
The former Benedictine convent of Lamspringe is one of the most impressive historical buildings in the Hildesheim district. The Baroque church and the abbey complex have been the backdrop for the Lamspringer September since 1989: a cultural autumn that is curated with programmatic care and volunteer energy. Over the years, the festival has built up a diverse audience and today stands for careful programming beyond the mainstream.
Characteristic of the Lamspringer September is its programmatic breadth: concerts from classical, jazz, blues, and soul, choral and vocal projects, theatre evenings, readings with contemporary authors, and exhibitions of visual art. Program items are often developed specifically for the festival venue, so that the spatial effect of the abbey becomes part of the artistic statement.
The 38th edition bears the motto 'Shaping the Future'. It invites us to think about artistic contributions in the tension between tradition and departure: How can an old abbey complex become a place for engaging with the questions of our time? Which voices from music, literature, and visual arts contribute to this debate?
Lamspringe is located in the south of the Hildesheim district, nestled in a landscape of forests and hills. The former abbey shapes the village's appearance and is known as a venue far beyond the district. The Lamspringer September is now an important anchor of identity for the community and an indispensable part of cultural life in southern Lower Saxony.
Over four weeks, the program is spread across several concert, theatre, and reading evenings, as well as an exhibition axis. The opening usually takes place with a major concert, and the final days bundle highlights and the closing event.
The exact detailed program for 2026, including artists, dates, and times, will be published by Lamspringer September e.V. on the official festival website and through the local press. Tickets are available online via Reservix and at the box office. The structure follows the proven cornerstones of previous years: opening concert, piano evening(s), vocal and choral concert, blues or soul program, theatre evening, readings, exhibition with opening and finissage, closing concert.
