Commemoration Opening Day

The city of Detmold is set to host its annual Heritage Day on Sunday, September 14, joining a nationwide celebration of history and culture. This year's theme, "Worth-it: Priceless or Irreplaceable," promises an enriching experience for all generations, including families and history enthusiasts.

The event, organised by the city portal, will offer a diverse program of guided tours and lectures, providing insights into the city's rich history. One of the highlights includes the restored salon organ with self-playing mechanisms in Detmold Castle, a unique instrument in Germany today that has remained silent since 1944. Hereditary Count Leopold, who installed this extraordinary organ in 1916, was inspired by his travels in the 1890s.

Interested parties can start experiencing the first offers from September 12. Sinalco AG is offering an outdoor tour and explanations for the Sinalco musical "Das Glück ist eine Orange" at the Landestheater Detmold, starting on Friday, September 12, at 4 pm.

Registration is required for some of the tours and presentations mentioned in the program, such as the tours of the former Falkenkrug Brewery and the Detmold Castle salon organ presentations. The complete program, including dates, locations, and registration contacts, can be found online as a PDF brochure under the "Current" page on the city portal.

The Heritage Day in Detmold is not limited to the historical sites mentioned earlier but includes many other monuments in Detmold. On September 14, numerous historical sites in Detmold will offer insights into their history as part of Heritage Day.

The Heritage Day in Detmold is aimed at all generations, including families and history enthusiasts. Whether you're a local or a visitor, this is an opportunity to immerse yourself in the city's culture, architecture, and living city history. So, mark your calendars and join us for a day filled with discovery and appreciation for Detmold's priceless and irreplaceable heritage.
