On 11 March 2026, the City of Kaarst's Culture Committee met for its first meeting of the 11th council term. It was a perfect start: a full house and the highly motivated participation of the committee members clearly showed how important cultural life is for us in Kaarst.<\/p>\n
We are looking far ahead. While the Cultural programme 2026<\/strong> is already in the starting blocks, we on the committee have already set the course for 2027. We are particularly focussed on the Cabaret<\/strong> and the Children's theatre<\/strong>. We are committed to ensuring that Kaarst remains a stage for high-calibre cabaret and at the same time offers our youngest citizens first-class cultural experiences.<\/p>\n In Kaarst, culture also means a living culture of remembrance. A central point of the meeting was the Reappraisal of the city's history<\/strong>. With projects such as the Place of remembrance for the victims of National Socialism<\/strong> and the installation of a Memorial stele at the Kaarst cemetery<\/strong> we fulfil our historical responsibility. It is important to us that history remains visible and tangible in our city.<\/p>\n A particular highlight was the presentation of Mrs Maria H\u00f6veler<\/strong>, the new spokesperson for the Kaarst artists. We are looking forward to the dialogue and the impulses from the local art scene. The preparations for the Autumn exhibition 2026<\/strong> run: The judging process has been launched to offer regional talents a forum again this year.<\/p>\n The budgetary situation is undoubtedly challenging. The revision of the fee schedule in the cultural sector was therefore a necessary point of consultation. Our goal as the CDU is clear: we want to maintain cultural life in Kaarst even in financially difficult times. Lively and attractive<\/strong> shape the future. For us, this also includes the reliable support of our public libraries<\/strong> by granting the necessary subsidies.<\/p>\n Conclusion:<\/strong> The committee has shown that politics and administration are working hand in hand to strengthen Kaarst as a cultural centre. We will stay tuned!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" From cabaret to remembrance culture: the Kaarst Cultural Committee sets the course for a strong cultural programme and sustainable local support.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7293,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-allgemein","category-cdu-kaarst"],"yoast_head":"\nResponsibility for our history<\/h2>\n
