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 installation was 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 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 in an exciting way. Since then, new productions have been staged every year. 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. A recognition award goes to the historian Dr. Dominik Reither from Moosburg,the musician Johannes "Häns" Czernik from Wippenhausen and the piano maker Walter Thumann from Giggenhausen.
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 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 is equally proficient in rock-pop, jazz and classical music. Not only as a teacher does he promote young musical talent. 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 Sir 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.
The Hohenkammer youth wind orchestra (JUBO) receives a sponsorship award.
The Hohenkammer brass band is a young association that was only founded in 2006.
The youth wind orchestra consists of 24 children and young people aged 13 to 21 and is actively involved in musical community life, for example at the senior afternoon, at the summer festival of the warriors and soldiers' association or at the Martin parade.
The JUBO also makes music in small groups, for example at Hoagarten, and once a year there is a larger concert.
The JUBO is now a fixture in cultural life between Glonn and Amper.
