About Lamspringer September 2026

For almost four decades, the Lamspringer September has been one of the most distinguished cultural festivals in southern Lower Saxony. In the historic Lamspringe Abbey, audiences from across the region gather from the end of August to the end of September to experience high-quality music, theatre, literature, and visual arts over four weeks. The 38th edition in 2026 is themed 'Shaping the Future' and, as in previous years, combines guests from beyond the region with artists from the area. Piano concerts, blues and soul evenings, choral and vocal music, readings, theatre productions, and exhibitions shape the program, making Lamspringe Abbey a vibrant meeting place.

A Cultural Autumn in the Abbey Village

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.

Concerts, Theatre, Literature, and Art

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.

Motto: Shaping the Future

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 – Abbey Village in the Leine Uplands

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.

Lamspringer September 2026 — edition 2026

The 38th edition of the Lamspringer September opens its curtain on August 29, 2026, and closes on September 26. Under the motto 'Shaping the Future', the festival invites you for four weeks of concerts, readings, theatre evenings, and exhibitions in the historic Lamspringe Abbey. Piano concerts, blues and soul evenings, choral and vocal music, as well as contributions from visual arts are part of the regular repertoire. A festival that has maintained its independence, where the acoustics of the abbey and the programmatic care of the organizers are equally showcased.

Four-Week Program Arc

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.
