Martin Müller-Reisinger is traveling from Freiburg in the Black Forest to show here what he has been successfully doing for years at the Theater Freiburg: "Think politically, ask personally." Exciting personalities have already made their appearance at the Theater Freiburg: Gregor Gysi, Martin Sonneborn, Norbert Lammert, Kevin Kühnert, Jürgen Trittin, Jan van Aken, Claudia Roth, Franz Müntefering, Wolfgang Schäuble, Peter Brandt, Ricarda Lang, Robert Habeck, Alice Schwarzer – to name just a few.

Starting in 2026, he will speak at the Capitol Nordhorn with his guests from politics, sports, and culture about political processes, personal experiences, and perspectives. He is not solely focused on the current political landscape. Rather, he is interested in the person behind the public figure, and sometimes private secrets are revealed: the first kiss, the unfulfilled dream, the last night stayed awake. What should never be missing from the refrigerator? As a student, were you more reckless or shy? Gendering yes or no? Does social media make us sick? Have you ever smoked weed?

Illuminating insights and fundamental misunderstandings are guaranteed.

We are pleased to welcome the fourth guest of the talk:
Jürgen Trittin
German politician - Alliance 90/The Greens/former Federal Minister
- among other things about his political autobiography "EVERYTHING MUST STAY DIFFERENT" -

Admission: 19:00 Uhr

500 followers and still alone? Loneliness has become a societal phenomenon that is much more than just a concern for the elderly, those living alone, and the separated.
Loneliness is a taboo subject, under which more and more young people suffer in the age of social media, and it has many facets that burden affected individuals of all ages in their lives.

In Stadtgeflüster, we want to break the silence around the phenomenon of loneliness and discuss its causes, effects, and ways out.

Our guests for the talk:

- Dr. Christoph Hutter - Educator, psychodramatist, head of life and educational counseling at the Diocese of Osnabrück
- Benjamin Haltern - Young person
- Dr. Hermann Thole - former chief physician, chairman of the senior council in Nordhorn
- Carolin Cyzykowski - crisis counseling team U25 of Caritas

Look forward to our next talk round and join us again when Rolf Masselink puts his finger on the wound at Capitol Nordhorn!

Doors open: 6:30 PM

There are still things that deliver what they promise - CC-Smokie – definitely belongs to that list.
With their hauntingly authentic sound, they deliver the hits of an entire generation, unforgettable for millions of people and strongly tied to emotions, memories, and experiences. The hits of Smokie are as much a part of the history of the 1970s as bell-bottoms, disco fever, and platform shoes.

CC-Smokie brings these songs back to life in a stunningly real way and takes you on an unforgettable journey to that time. A concert with CC-Smokie invites you to dance, sing along, and reminisce. CC-Smokie performs as a 6-member live band. 3 exceptional guitarists, 4-part vocal harmonies, and a wide-ranging repertoire from catchy ballads to rock numbers offer something for every taste. The well-known cover versions of popular 70s/80s hits by Smokie are also part of their setlist. The party night can begin...

The concert is planned as an exhilarating standing concert – we want to dance together and celebrate the music! If you need a little break in between, you will find opportunities to catch your breath at our standing tables with bar stools and tables.

Admission: 19:00 Uhr
