Pirmasens to host opening of 2027 Rhineland-Palatinate Culture Summer

The city of Pirmasens has been selected as the venue for the opening of the 2027 Rhineland-Palatinate Culture Summer. The upcoming series will focus on the theme, “When you laugh anyway: Joke, satire and deeper meaning,” marking the 111th anniversary of Dadaism.

The event also commemorates the 100th anniversary of the death of Hugo Ball, a co-founder of Dadaism who was born in Pirmasens.

By the end of October, 236 applications for events across the state had been submitted, totaling 1.88 million euros in requested funding. This follows the current year's program, which focused on the 1920s and received approximately four million euros in funding for 260 projects across various disciplines, including music, theater, film, and literature.
