The Streetthe­atre fes­ti­val BILDSTÖRUNG usu­al­ly takes place bian­u­al­ly dur­ing Whit­sun.

The next fes­ti­val will be at the Whit­sun week­end 2026 from 22^nd to 25^th May 2026.

You can find the pro­gram here: Pro­gram 2026

In gen­er­al, our goal is to make all events of the Streetthe­atre fes­ti­val BILDSTÖRUNG open-air, free of charge and acces­si­ble to every­one.

For vis­i­tor con­trol (e.g. due to lim­it­ed vis­i­tor seat­ing) tick­ets are required for some per­for­mances.

Tick­ets: kulturteam.reservix.de

We try our best to make all events of the BILDSTÖRUNG acces­si­ble bar­ri­er-free. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, this is not pos­si­ble for every pro­duc­tion due to secu­ri­ty rea­sons. This year, the pro­duc­tion “The Place” by Eléc­tri­co 28 is not acces­si­ble and the show “DRIFTING” by Toukie Del­phine is par­tial­ly acces­si­ble.

Bar­ri­er-free, pub­lic toi­lets can be found under the stairs of the town hall at the mar­ket place, in the pavil­lion at the Kaiser-Wil­helm-Park and at the fes­ti­val venues Brun­nen­wiese, Hangar 21 and Schoren­fried­hof.

If you have any ques­tions, com­ments or sug­ges­tions about this, please con­tact us via the con­tact form.

We are thank­ful for any input that improves our vis­i­tors and our own fes­ti­val expe­ri­ence.

If you need help with overnight stays or you want to expe­ri­ence oth­er cul­tur­al activ­i­ties, you can con­tact the Det­mold tourist infor­ma­tion cen­tre: +49 5231 977–328, tourist.info@detmold.de

More infor­ma­tion about the pos­si­bil­i­ties for overnight stays in Det­mold can be found here.

There will be a fes­ti­val lounge once again this year where vis­i­tors can relax and unwind. You can also enjoy a refresh­ing drink or deli­cious street food under the roof of the fes­ti­val tent.

Under the stairs of Det­molds town hall entrance, at the mar­ket place are san­i­tary facil­i­ties that are ful­ly acces­si­ble bar­ri­er-free. Fur­ther loca­tions are marked on the map.

Some of the restau­ra­teurs are also part of “Nette Toi­lette”, a com­mu­ni­ty of facilites that grant free access to their restrooms. Find them here.

No pho­tog­ra­phy or film­ing is per­mit­ted dur­ing the per­for­mances with­out pri­or accred­i­taion.

We would be delight­ed if the fes­ti­val is so beau­ti­ful that mobile phones etc. move out of focus.

We can under­stand that you would like to cap­ture these great moments. That is why we have the events of the BILDSTÖRUNG doc­u­ment­ed and pub­lish infor­ma­tion about them on our home­page, etc. The local press also cov­ers many of the events.

Während der Vorstel­lun­gen darf ohne vorherige Akkred­i­tierung nicht fotografiert oder gefilmt wer­den.

There are var­i­ous seat­ing options avail­able at the per­for­mances: the front rows offer seat­ing on the floor, as well as bench­es or stands. For safe­ty rea­sons, you are not per­mit­ted to bring your own seat­ing into the per­for­mance areas. Please ensure that every­one has a clear view and that escape and emer­gency routes
remain clear.

In case of a seri­ous inci­dent, call 112 imme­di­ate­ly.

If med­ical assis­tance is need­ed, a first aid team is on site. You can find their loca­tion on the map locat­ed in the Schloss­park or at our Fes­ti­val-Info. First aid kits are avail­able at all per­for­mance venues. Please ask our fes­ti­val team for help.

If there is any ques­tion that our Q&A was not pos­si­ble to answer or sug­ges­tions, do not hes­ti­tate and feel free to con­tact us via our con­tact form.

We will answer all your ques­tions as soon as pos­si­ble. As our organ­i­sa­tion team is rel­a­tive­ly small before the fes­ti­val, we ask for a lit­tle patience.
