Since 1991, the model railway market in Frankenberg has taken place with numerous vendors and is very popular with young and old, big and small, and is widely known in town and country. Visitors also travel from farther away to buy something here for their hobby. What started small in 1991 has grown steadily; today there is more than 130 square meters of exhibition space with offerings for every gauge; from Z gauge and N gauge through H0 to gauge 1 / LGB from the well-known companies Märklin, Fleischmann, Roco, etc., in AC and DC. Model cars in various sizes are also included, as well as accessories of all kinds, everything a model builder could wish for. The Locomotive Doctor will also be present again; he carries out minor repairs or tests on rolling stock on site. The vendors will be happy to answer your questions about model building and model railways and have numerous offers ready for expansion or getting started. Selling and swapping are also possible. In the foyer, there will again be operating layouts on display from the Eisenbahn Freunde Hessen from Neustadt and the IG Modellbau Stadtallendorf. Here too, questions about operation and construction relating to model building and model railways will be answered very gladly. The exhibition is open from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is €3.50, children up to 12 years old are free. An event for young and old; families with children will also have something to see. Not only buying and swapping are possible, but layouts showing operating trains will also be on display. The knowledgeable staff at the display layo
He addresses his themes from the perspective of social progress. The benchmark of his thinking is not the lowest common denominator, but—modestly speaking—the world spirit. While what is feasible may remain the preserve of politics, art must keep its sights set on what is conceivable. Tschirpke considers indignation to be merely the little fat sister of anger. One can tell from the new compositions that here is a person who not only masters a certain range of stylistic possibilities, but also has a distinctive musical language of his own. Technical excursions on piano and ukulele round off the charming attacks on the state and its citizens. Following the motto "He who leans far out of the window sees more," Tschirpke sets course for the comic abysses of our existence. Tickets are available from €23.00.

Somewhere in the world… there’s a little bit of happiness, which the Salon Ladies convey in a touching and hopeful way through their music. After a quarter century of concert touring, they have realized that the roots of true happiness lie in the heart. With songs from the 1920s to the 1940s of the last century, specially arranged for them, and their stylish dresses and hats, they are able to transport the audience into a wonderful world. The singing and performing ladies on cello, violin, clarinet, and piano take you on a musical journey through time. When else do you get a singer who also plays the violin, a pianist who plays the accordion, a violinist who sings backing vocals, a clarinetist who plays the saxophone, and a lady who plays both the cello and the double bass, all together on stage.

The program “Coffee and Music” takes the audience into the nostalgic world of café tradition with waltzes by the 200th anniversary celebrant Johann Strauss and popular evergreens such as Csárdás, Carmen March, “I love coffee, I love tea” or “Sugar in the Coffee.” The second part of the concert offers emotionally moving highlights of film music, from “The Godfather” and “Gabriella's Song” to “Pirates of the Caribbean.” The Waldeck Salon Orchestra CAPPUCCINO was founded in 2005 and has since turned the concert hall into a salon where friends come together to enjoy the sweet and bitter notes of life in a relaxed atmosphere. Violin (Andrea Eiselt) and cello (Daniel Senft) glide gently over the strings, just as the barista pours the milk into the cappuccino, while flute (Eberhard Enß) and oboe (Larissa Niederquell) let their sound swirl through the air like rising steam. The piano (Rainer Böttcher) tinkles like the spoons stirring sugar into the coffee, and the double bass (Denes Sipos) evokes filling the coffee grinder with delicious beans. *During the concert, coffee and cake will be served. Everything is included in the admission price of 19 euros.* Tickets via: https://www.kulturring-frankenberg.de/veranstaltungen Date: Sunday, 14/03/2027, starts at 3:00 p.m. Where: Philipp-Soldan-Forum Teichweg 3 35066 Frankenberg
Daphne de Luxe presents cabaret, comedy and the occasional song in her shows. Situational comedy, improvisational talent and her ability to pick up on current social issues make every one of her performances unique. It is her authenticity that moves and delights audiences. And when she steps onto the stage with her commanding presence, an expectant murmur goes through the hall. In private, Daphne de Luxe is quite different. Unlike her extremely tough, bold and quick-witted stage persona, the private Daphne is at times rather more conservative. No glamour and no “de Luxe make-up”, but gardening, chickens and growing old varieties of vegetables occupy the comedian when she is not on stage. Daphne de Luxe has wide-ranging interests, and her loyal fans know that she could just as well have become a successful zoologist. Her expertise is astonishing. So it was only a matter of time before these topics found their way into one of her stage programs. “Species-Appropriate – A wildly human program” is the title of the show, and it delivers on its promise. In a humorous way, Daphne de Luxe draws parallels between humans and animals, explains why men like to look at women’s cleavage, and shares surprising insights with her audience. “Species-appropriate” also stands for the amusing observations about people living together and how that has changed over time. The humorist takes a critical look at our consumer and eating habits, but of course never forgets enjoyment without remorse. Beautiful songs and anecdotes, plenty of humor and self-irony ensure outrageously good entertainment. T
At night, all her strange and hilariously funny ideas regularly pop up—ideas she has always wanted to share with her friends, her opponents, and the whole world. In a fast-paced, profound, musical, and very witty monologue, Anna Schäfer aims straight at the heart of our time. She acts, sings, and whirls through the major themes that concern her and us. She slips into countless roles and crazy characters and creates an equally contemporary, fantastical, and satirical portrait of the manners and morals of our country and its people. Personal, political, pointed, and full of wild performing energy. An evening about the stories we tell ourselves and others. The stories that are our lives. Anna Schäfer is supported in this program by the playwright and Grimme Award winner Dietmar Jacobs (Stromberg, Mord mit Aussicht, Extra 3, Heute Show, Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf). Also by director Hans Holzbecher (award-winning satire director, primarily with Kom(m)ödchen Düsseldorf since 2006, as well as productions for theater and musicals such as West Side Story, Jekyll & Hyde, etc.). And by composer Jochen Kilian (music director at many municipal and state theaters, Theater des Westens, Berlin, and active as composer and arranger for many German-speaking artists and stages, including Friedrichstadt-Palast, Berlin). An evening that will surely leave no one untouched. Text ©Dietmar Jacobs Date: Friday, 22.10.2027, 8:00 p.m. Where: Philipp-Soldan-Forum Teichweg 3 35066 Frankenberg
