Leuchtende Steine Dittersdorf — Open-Air Summer Party

The Quarry as a Stage

Dittersdorf, a district of the municipality of Amtsberg in the Erzgebirgskreis, is home to an old quarry — an industrial wasteland transformed into an extraordinary event location. The high rock faces, the natural acoustics, and the secluded location away from any residential areas make the quarry the ideal setting for an open-air party. Cultura e.V. organizes the 'Leuchtende Steine' here every year — a two-day summer party that has long since become an insider tip in the Ore Mountains' festival scene.

Friday — Brass meets Beats

The festival opening on Friday evening (doors open 7:30 PM, start 8:00 PM) combines DJ sets with live brass music. DJ Wi Nillz and DeeJay Jukebox will be playing, along with Brasstastisch — a band that combines rock and brass, giving the festival a distinctive sound. The rock faces are bathed in colorful light, and light installations are spread across the grounds.

Saturday — Party and Laser Show

Saturday evening (doors open 7:00 PM, start 7:30 PM) is the festival's highlight. DJ Wi Nillz and the party band Mr. Feelgood will get the crowd going before a multimedia laser show is staged late in the evening as the grand finale. The combination of the rock backdrop, light effects, and music is unique in the Ore Mountains — those who attend once usually come back.

History and Commitment

Cultura e.V. has been operating the Dittersdorf quarry as a cultural venue for years, organizing various open-air formats during the summer months. 'Leuchtende Steine' is the flagship event, alongside classical concerts, smaller DJ events, and cultural performances. The commitment of the association's members has secured the location a firm place in the cultural landscape of the Ore Mountains.
