Connecting City History and Music
The event links local city history with the sounds of the festival. As the second-oldest botanical garden in Germany, it once served as a source of inspiration and a walking path for Goethe, Schiller, the Schlegels, and Novalis. Max Pommer highlights this historical significance and draws connections between Romanticism, Classicism, and the present day. The tour also focuses on singing songs about nature together, accompanied by participants of the Ukulelefest.
