Discover events, parties and culture in Gohrisch.
When the nights get longer and hearts get warmer, the best time for a very special evening in a mountain hut begins on the Papststein. In the rustic mountain restaurant Papststein, guests can expect an atmospheric excursion into the winter romance of Saxon Switzerland - with panoramic views, candlelight and a homemade cheese fondue. The illuminated ascent to the hut only takes about ten minutes and ends on the table mountain with one of the most impressive views of the Elbe Sandstone Mountains. Whether as a romantic couple, with friends or colleagues - there are three lovingly coordinated fondue options to choose from at our Bauden evening: from classic to indulgent with starter, wine and dessert. A real winter highlight with taste.

### November 15, 2026 / 2:00 p.m. # ... Taking Small Steps Through Turbulent Times! ## Global Village Kids Presentation How did our grandparents play? What was school like back then? What’s different today—and what should still be the same in 10 or 20 years? In “Taking Small Steps Through Turbulent Times,” these questions are explored through dance and circus acrobatics. Together with the children, stories are collected, and memories and ideas are transformed into movements and short scenes, which are then presented as a group. Children from Kleinhennersdorf, Papstdorf, Reinhardtsdorf, Cunnersdorf, Bad Schandau, Königstein, and Pirna have explored this theme and are bringing together their very own stories and ideas for the future. Whether at the after-school care center, in the gym, in the auditorium, or in the hall of the Heymannbaude—every space became a laboratory for exploration and a stage: for balancing, spinning, experimenting, and creating together. Free admission—donations are welcome Artistic Director/Dance: Helena Fernandino Circus Acrobatics/Dance: Pelle Tillö

### November 28, 2026 / 4:00 p.m. # Rose—A Theatrical Monologue ## On Memory, Grief, Trauma, and Coping with Them “I’m eighty years old. That’s unforgivable—and suddenly the new millennium is here, and I unmistakably reek of the last century, but what can I do?” Rose is sitting shiva. She is a Holocaust survivor. She mourns alone and shares with us her remarkable life story, which has led her to this wooden bench in her small apartment in Miami. She recounts her childhood in a Ukrainian shtetl, the Warsaw Ghetto, the loss of loved ones, the journey aboard the “Exodus,” and finally her new beginning in the U.S., the bustling streets of Atlantic City, and the salsa-filled nights of Miami. And when we finally learn who Rose is truly mourning, the story comes full circle to the present day and the Middle East conflict in all its complexity. “Rose” is a nuanced, deeply human play about memory, grief, trauma, and coming to terms with them. And yet this monologue is anything but merely depressing. Sherman’s portrait of this courageous woman captivates with its vivid imagery, surprising twists, and, not least, its indomitable Jewish humor. Tickets available at the box office Rose Theatrical monologue by Martin Sherman Translated into German by Maria Harpner and Anatol Preissler
