Land Art and Nature Culture
The Landfestival Georgenthal is a new Thuringian festival that took place for the first time in 2025 and immediately attracted around 7,000 visitors to the rural village on the edge of the Thuringian Forest. It positions itself at the intersection of nature, art, and rural life – a format that understands the landscape as a stage and brings together city guests and villagers.
The Program Concept
The mix of lectures, workshops, hikes, and activity offerings, complemented by a creative market, a nature experience day, and a light night at the Hammerteich pond, shapes the concept. Resident Artists create land art installations that transform the festival grounds into a walkable gallery. In 2026, the Dinosaur Festival will be integrated as a permanent component – a format that makes the scientific heritage of the region (Bromacker fossil site with dinosaurs) tangible.
Georgenthal – Municipality in the Gotha District
Georgenthal is located on the northern edge of the Thuringian Forest in the Gotha district. In addition to Georgenthal itself, the municipality comprises several small districts and is primarily known for the Georgenthal Abbey ruins (Cistercian monastery, founded in 1143), the spa park, and its natural setting. The Landfestival uses this backdrop for its program.
Landfestival — edition 2026
After the successful launch in 2025 (around 50 individual events, 7,000 visitors), the second edition further expands the program. The rural character is maintained – the festival consciously positions itself as an alternative to large urban formats.
