Catholic Day 2022
Catholic Day 2022
The team of the Diocesan Museum looks back on an eventful, interesting and colourful Katholikentag. The museum was able to organise a total of two exhibitions and eight cultural events, and was also represented with its own stand in the Stadtgarten. The response was positive throughout! The vernissage in St. Mary’s, where the winners of the art competition “Vulnerable” were honoured by Bishop Fürst, the photo exhibition “Next door” in St. Agnes as well as the diverse artistic and musical offerings in the city met with great interest. The events stimulated exchange and reflection, but also invited people to celebrate and marvel. We would like to thank all the cooperation partners and the numerous artists for their commitment and good cooperation, which also made the Katholikentag a success for art and culture!
Vernissage „Vulnerable“
The special exhibition “Vulnerable” goes into the next round: last Sunday, 19.06, after St. Mary’s, now the second part of the exhibition was ceremoniously opened in the Diocesan Museum! After a varied programme – with musical accompaniment by Anna Ohlmann – the guests were able to get a first impression of the winning entries of the art competition (including the three main prize winners). The team of the Diocesan Museum would like to thank everyone for the lively interest and the stimulating exchange!

EinBlick in...
Advent, Advent – why a little light is burning!
Advent, Advent, a little light is burning. One little light? Or even 23? Where does the custom of placing four candles in a round fir tree and lighting one every Sunday come from? Matthias Raidt went in search of clues. In our series “Crucifix!” this time he provides fascination & facts about the Advent wreath.
The Easter Nest – The Bunny a Cunning Egg Thief?
Where does it come from that the Christian Easter is combined with colourful chicken eggs and bunnies? We go in search of clues from BUNNY to BUNNY at Kruzifix! Facts and facets.

Tangible delicate – Vernissage with Poetry Slam
A world full of poetry
The Diocesan Museum’s garden and exhibition spaces will be the scene of bold contrasts and surprising encounters this summer. From fragile glass bubbles clinging to rough alabaster surfaces to bronze figures radiating gentle delicacy – in the works of Susanne Roewer, the most diverse, seemingly incompatible materials come together to form a poetic unity. The exhibition Tangible delicate (8 July – 14 October 2023) in Rottenburg shows sculptures and installations by the Berlin sculptress that defy the rules of gravity and enchant the viewer with their grace and powerful fragility.
We cordially invite you to the opening of the exhibition with a poetry slam on Saturday, 8 July, 6 pm!
Poetry slam is performed stage literature. Different poets from all over Germany will meet in the garden of the museum and seminary. A firework of poetry and prose, sometimes performed loudly, sometimes quietly. And as always, the audience decides who wins the evening.
The evening will be moderated by Asli Kücük, Landestheater Tübingen, and Wehwalt Koslovski, poetry slam pioneer and world champion. Since 1994, Koslovski has performed over 2500 times on stages in Europe, the USA and Japan. He lives and works as a freelance stage poet, reciter, literary organiser, lecture traveller, speech & language coach and art teacher in Berlin.
Hocus pocus – the magical misunderstanding
Hocus pocus fidibus – who doesn’t know this magic spell! Where does this phrase actually come from and does it really have anything to do with witchcraft? Matthias Raidt goes on a magical journey through a jungle of interpretations in the new episode “Crucifix – Fascination & Facts”.
Jeez Martin!
Everyone knows him! St. Martin, who shared his coat with a beggar. But who was this Martin anyway? Let’s roll up the whole story again.
