Sommerbühne am Schloss Wolfsburg

35 Years of Sommerbühne

The Sommerbühne am Schloss Wolfsburg was launched in 1992 and has since become a firm fixture of Wolfsburg's summer cultural calendar. With its 35th anniversary edition, the series looks back on an impressive tradition in 2026, setting new accents each year—from established artists to promising newcomers, from classical chamber music to modern pop and world music.

Baroque Garden as a Concert Setting

Wolfsburg Castle, the city's old fortress, houses a charming Baroque garden that serves as the open-air concert venue for the Sommerbühne. With its historic walls, geometrically designed park, and intimate scale, the garden creates an extraordinary concert atmosphere where music and audience connect in a special way. M2K (Wolfsburg's Institute for Art and Culture) oversees the series, actively connecting the castle with contemporary cultural work.
