Kaarst Total in transition: CDU demands clarity
The city festival is currently Kaarst Total in focus. For this year's event demands the CDU Kaarst support in financing by the city of Kaarst. The Kaarst Total working group also wants to present a concept by 1 December 2025 as to how the festival can be financed in future. The reasoning: Kaarst Total can only be developed sensibly with a long-term perspective.

In the official video of the CDU Kaarst Ingo Kotzian, Constituency candidate 2025 for WK07 Windvogt/Martinusstraßeon the future of Kaarst Total. He explains the reasons for the demand and the aims of the CDU:
The request is expressly not an automatic requirement for an annual repetition - but an invitation to reorganise the event. The administration and organisers should work together to develop a viable concept.
Which questions need to be answered now
- How can the event modernise itself?
- What role does politics play in further development?
- How can voluntary work be secured in the long term?
What can the future of Kaarst Total look like?
