About Schlagernacht Kalkberg

"Der Kalkberg tanzt!" — Schlagernacht 2026

Under the motto "Der Kalkberg tanzt!", the famous natural stage in Bad Segeberg's Kalkberg will transform into a Schlager arena on May 2, 2026. Organizers Förde Show Concept and Seaside Touring are bringing a packed program with stars from five decades of Schlager to the stage — from Schlager legend Michael Holm to Mallorca star Isi Glück.

The concept

Instead of a single main act, several stars perform in quick succession on stage, playing their mega-hits — compact, without long breaks, with a high sing-along factor. The Karl May Games stage and its natural backdrop set the spectacle in scene; up to 10,000 Schlager fans turn the amphitheater floor into a dancing crowd.

One stage, five decades of Schlager

The Freilichtbühne am Kalkberg in Bad Segeberg is known nationwide as the venue for the Karl May Games. In spring, before the Karl May season begins, the monumental natural stage transforms into a Schlager arena: The Schlagernacht am Kalkberg has long been a fixture in the Schlager scene's calendar and one of the season openers for open-air concerts in the north.

Bad Segeberg — the Kalkberg as a backdrop

Bad Segeberg is located in the Segeberg district, centrally between Hamburg and Kiel. The Kalkberg is the city's landmark — a 91 m high gypsum peak of volcanic origin, in whose rock basin the famous open-air stage is nestled. Over 10,000 spectator seats, an impressive stage set, and the unmistakable atmosphere of a real amphitheater make the venue unique.

In the Segeberg district

The Schlagernacht fits into the series of events in the Segeberg district — one of the most musically active regions in Schleswig-Holstein, which regularly hosts several Karl May Games concerts (Roland Kaiser, Helene Fischer, etc.) and the Schleswig-Holstein Proms Festival.
