Senftenberg — Lusatian Fortress Town on Senftenberg Lake

Senftenberg is located in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, in southern Brandenburg, on Senftenberg Lake – one of Germany's largest artificial lakes, created by the renaturation of a former open-cast lignite mine. The town combines industrial history, new water landscapes, and a historic center with the Renaissance castle as its most striking building. In summer, Senftenberg is a popular destination in the Lusatian Lake District with its extensive waterways and cycle paths.

Museum Schloss und Festung Senftenberg

Senftenberg Castle was expanded into a fortress in the 16th century and today houses the Museum of the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district. The fortress complex with its bastion and inner courtyard provides an extraordinary open-air backdrop – intimate, close, and acoustically special, with historic walls as a natural sound space. This atmosphere makes every concert evening an intense experience. The museum also offers exhibitions on regional history, the lignite past, and fortress architecture.

Ostrock Pur — GDR Rock as Cultural Heritage

The "Ostrock Pur" concept bundles hits from the rich history of GDR rock: the major bands like Puhdys, Karat, City, Silly, Pankow, and Renft, as well as their most influential songs. Ostrock is more than just music – it is a culture of remembrance for an entire generation that grew up with these lyrics and melodies. In Niederlausitz, a region where GDR history is deeply rooted, this concept resonates particularly strongly. The Ostrock classics are reinterpreted live by experienced performers and made accessible with modern instrumentation.

Summer Evening in a Renaissance Setting

The concert starts at 8 p.m., with admission slightly earlier. Tickets are available in advance for €18 (reduced), and at the box office for €22. Those visiting Senftenberg for the first time should combine the day with a visit to the fortress, a walk around Senftenberg Lake, or a boat trip on the lake – the townscape and the surrounding lake landscape are among the most interesting in Brandenburg. Restaurants, cafés, and accommodation are available in Senftenberg's town center and directly at the harbor.
