Freising

- The district of Freising awards a culture prize every two years.

In addition, prizes can be awarded for recognition and promotion.

A jury made up of district councilors, District Administrator Helmut Petz and district home maintenance has now selected the winners from a large number of proposals:

The 2021 Culture Prize will be awarded to director

Thomas Goerge

from Hallbergmoos.

Thomas Goerge was already involved in the theater as a schoolboy.

After studying stage and film design at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna, he began his career as a set designer in Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Munich and Stuttgart.

In Bayreuth he worked on the set for the Parsifal production by Christoph Schlingensief.

His stage installations were on view in the German Pavilion at the 54th Venice Biennale.

As a director he staged operas in Berlin, Munich and Vienna.

His installations for the “Caprificus” art project have been exhibited in Hanover, Frankfurt and Freising.

Thomas Goerge creates impressive total works of art

Thomas Goerge illustrated several children's books and novels.

The staged reading of the novel “The Secret of the Crypt” by Carl Amery was a 2015 project in the Freising district.

George combined literature, music and theater here.

Since then, new productions have been staged every year.

(By the way: Everything from the region is now also available in our regular Freising newsletter.)

For the performance of "Siegfried" as part of the Hallbergmoos Cultural Summer 2017 with unaccompanied minor refugees and the youth wrestlers of SV Siegfried, Thomas Goerge was awarded the Tassilo Culture Prize of the Süddeutsche Zeitung in 2018.

Goerges last great total work of art in Hallbergmoos was “75 hectares of meadow {460 m above sea level.

NN} ”, which tells the story of the Erching broadcaster from the Big Bang to the future.

As a culture award winner, Goerge is now the successor to the rock band RPWL.

The lawyer and historian

Dr.

Dominik Reither

deals intensively with the history of his hometown Moosburg.

The fruits of this work are numerous lectures, newspaper articles, articles in specialist journals and monographs to this day.

Reither has written several books about the history of Moosburg so far - including on the historical development of the Dreirosenstadt in the context of the competing ducal cities in the north and south, on the effects of the 30 Years War and the two World Wars in Moosburg and on the former prisoner of war camp Stalag VIIA and denazification.

Johannes Czernik is at home in numerous musical styles.

Johannes Czernik

is an instrumentalist, composer and music teacher.

Even as a student he played with rock bands like "Schein", "Jumpin 'Jacks" and "Hard Rain".

He became known far beyond the county borders as the lead singer of “Luz Amoi” and through his collaboration with Tom Appel.

He is at home in numerous musical styles.

Czernik masters rock-pop, jazz and classical music equally.

Not only as a teacher, he promotes the next generation of musicians.

Even Elton John was already using his services

Walter Thumann

completed his apprenticeship as a piano and harpsichord maker as a Bavarian state winner.

He builds, repairs and sells pianos in his Giggenhausen workshop.

Famous pianists like Rudolf Buchbinder or Alfred Brendel let Thumann tune their grand pianos before their concerts.

But artists such as Elton John and Konstantin Wecker have already had their instruments serviced by him.

Walter Thumann masters extremely demanding handicrafts and preserves a high level of cultural heritage.
