SommerZeit Rockenhausen

SommerZeit Rockenhausen is an open-air event series by the town of Rockenhausen in the northern Donnersbergkreis. Rockenhausen Castle Park, as the central venue, offers a unique setting for open-air cultural evenings.

Castle Park as a Summer Stage

The castle park in the town center of Rockenhausen, with the former castle of the Wild- and Rheingrafen, is an ideal venue with its old trees, paths, and meadows. For SommerZeit, an open-air stage and corresponding seating are set up. The natural backdrop, the castle walls, and the balmy summer evening shape the special atmosphere of the events.

Diverse Genre Program

The SommerZeit program is deliberately broad: comedy and cabaret evenings with top-tier artists from the German-speaking scene, open-air cinema with current films or classics, live concerts from pop and rock to jazz and folk, and occasional tribute shows or classical open-airs. This series appeals to a wide audience and offers evenings to suit every taste throughout the summer.

Town of Rockenhausen and Nordpfälzer Land

Rockenhausen is the seat of the Nordpfälzer Land association-municipality in the Donnersbergkreis and, with around 6,000 inhabitants, is one of the urban centers of Nordpfalz. The town has a remarkable cultural heritage with the Museum Pachen for Mechanical Musical Instruments and the Museum Mile. SommerZeit complements this profile in the summer with an open-air series for a supra-regional audience.
