Pöcking – In its third year at the latest, the Pöckinger Kulturmontag has become a sure-fire success.
As early as 2022, the organizers from the municipality managed to set up a program for the whole year.
And that worked out again for 2023 - with classical music, theater or even a poetry slam.
“Word of the Culture Monday gets around.
We're now getting inquiries from artists who want to perform with us," says Daniela Lausser, who is responsible for organizing the events at the Beccult.
In the beginning it was mainly local artists, creative people and musicians who performed in the hall of the community center, but the actors now come from a wider area.
But they also play on a donation basis, admission to the 13 evenings is basically free.

June 19, 7:30 p.m
According to the motto "Knall-Peng-Schepper!" the Ascheringer drummer Hajo von Hadeln offers a mixture of percussion solos and workshops.
What do two hands and two feet have to do independently of each other so that noises become rhythm?
He wants to answer these questions.
Von Hadeln has played in many bands, but on stage alone he also relies on wit and charm.

Katrin Freiburghaus and Meike Harms from Gilching combine singing, guitar, rapping, stories and poems with their program "Keks und Fahrrad".
Her poetry slams are about reptiles, pacifist cookie recipes, philosophical birds and outer space.
But they still have a common thread.
October 30, 7:30 p.m
Erich Kasberger writes with his wife Dr.
Marita Krauss not only books about the Nazi past of Pöcking and Feldafing.
He also does cabaret.
"Wealth is enough!" is the name of his current programme.
"You will still be allowed to think, and in a different way than the others: if you think around the corner, you won't bend over backwards.
Anyone who lets themselves be taken on board travels comfortably.
One way or the other it will happen when wealth is talked about, i.e. of those who have problems with the eye of the needle and the others who have already gone through it," the announcement says.
And: "Kasberger's cabaret has esprit, deeper meaning, cosmopolitan local color and dissects reality in the absurd."
November 20, 7:30 p.m
The evening "Pöckinger Allerlei" offers a diverse musical mix - with musicians from young to old in the most diverse casts and styles.
Esther Schöpf moderated.
