Germering – It really couldn't be said that nothing was going on in Germering this weekend.
Culture lovers definitely got their money's worth.
It doesn't matter whether you stopped by at the start of the stage courtyard concerts, went to the opening of Walter Weiss or listened to the pieces of music by the town band at Germeringer See - there was something for everyone.
And that's exactly how it should continue in the next few weeks.
The program includes a benefit concert on July 8th in aid of the recently opened
hospice
, a scenic reading on July 9th in the
Roßstall Theater
and the anniversary celebration of
SV Germering
, which promises to be great fun on Friday and Saturday.
A week later, the three-day
city festival
"Germering celebrates" awaits, which after a two-year break this year from July 15th to 17th brings the whole city onto the streets, onto the Germering people.
By the way, the city center presents itself in white a short time later at the White Night on August 6th.
But you should also take a look at the district and beyond its borders in the near future, because there is also a lot on offer here: the picnic at the monastery in Fürstenfeldbruck (July 10th), the Olchinger Foodtruck Festival (July 8th to 10th ) or the Brucker Kulturnacht (July 9th).
A look at the sky on Friday, July 1st did not initially bode well.
Since both the technology and the stage for the concerts in the
courtyard of the Stadthalle will
only be set up at short notice depending on the weather, the start with Teddy and the lollipops on Friday had to be moved to the Amadeussaal.
Due to the relaxed bistro seating, as revealed by Stadthalle boss Medea Schmitt that evening, a few last-minute visitors were able to find a seat.
And the change of location shouldn't detract from the atmosphere either.
Some visitors couldn't stay in their chairs anymore, they danced along diligently to the music of the fifties.
The singer's petticoat moved to the beat and the six musicians' quiffs were in shape - the mood trembled.

And the stage courtyard could finally be inaugurated on Saturday evening: the
concert choir Germering
delighted the audience.
The concert series was once started due to the corona as an alternative outdoors and is intended to offer a stage to Germeringer clubs and artists in particular.
It continues
on July 22nd and 23rd
.

The exhibition in the city library will run until the end of July.

Only a few meters further, the people of Germeringer were able to get a first glimpse of the work of the 46-year-old
photographer Walter Weiss
.
He puts his photos in the
city library throughout July
out.
At the vernissage on Friday evening, he gave a presentation showing how his fairytale calendar came about.
He works on the project for about 80 days a year, always looking for the right light or mood.
Weiss' new project, an animal photo calendar, also took a lot of time.
This is available exclusively from the city library for 15 euros.
Photographing was originally just a hobby, but Weiss, who has 25 years of advertising agency experience, has now turned it into a career.
Weiss has already revealed that the “Fairytale Calendar” will be on sale from August.
Also this year a portion of the donation is to go to the Germeringer
Lions Club
.

The serenade by the lake
on Sunday evening was very leisurely
.
Assuming you could still get hold of a cozy spot on Lake Germeringer.
The line of parked cars stretched almost halfway down the bike lane.
No wonder given the weather – you could spend the whole day bathing.
And those who couldn't get a seat on the benches hopefully had their own (camping) chair or blanket with them.
Punctually at 6 p.m., the town band
marched
to their seats in colorful Hawaiian shirts and summery clothes, all in matching colours, and at the same time enchanted the audience with film music of all kinds. As in the pre-Corona years, admission to the serenade was free, and a donation tuba was passed around .
