… in Land des Hermann
Events organized in Lippe? Yes, of course! We know how to organize and host an event and thus inspire visitors. We have been able to prove this at quite a few events, either as the organizer ourselves or as a supporter. Here we provide some insights!
118th German Hiking Day
From August 18 to August 20, 2018, the 118th German Hiking Day offered many exciting and varied hikes, cultural tours, a parade, a tourism fair, concerts, a varied stage program, and many other events. On August 18, 2018, “Die Schlager Giganten” performed with special guest Marianne Rosenberg, and on August 19, 2018, Michael Patrick Kelly performed in Detmold, the hiking day capital. Numerous hiking enthusiasts came to the closing event on Monday at the Waldbühne to look back on the past few days and bring the event to a close together.
Unfortunately, the hiking day passed far too quickly, but beautiful memories remain.
Hermann Days
Hermann Day was a large family festival with an attractive and varied program that attracted thousands of guests to the Hermann Monument every year. It was a meeting of Lippe tradition and Lippe modernity, with various activities, stage performances, walk acts, performance artists, bands, and much more.
NRW Day | European Street Theater Festival
From May 25 to 28, 2012, the city of Detmold and the district of Lippe hosted NRW Day and the European Street Theater Festival. Detmold presented itself as an imaginative, amusing, exciting, and poetic open-air theater stage in a class of its own, “Magical Moments in the Land of Hermann,” delighting visitors, exhibitors, artists, and the entire state cabinet. 200,000 people celebrated a glittering state birthday in bright sunshine in a relaxed and peaceful atmosphere. NRW Day offered numerous concerts, performances, and information. Cities and regions of the state presented themselves, and volunteer organizations, emergency services, the police, the fire department, and the German Armed Forces were represented.

The program kicked off on Saturday with a Pickert party hosted by young chefs from Lippe, accompanied by music, and a square dance performance by the Lippe-Rose association from Brüntrup. At noon, renowned hiking journalist Manuel Andrack gave an exhibitor talk on hiking and the highlights of Hermann's country. On Saturday afternoon, the Physikanten delighted young and old alike with their big science show featuring physics tricks and effects. The band Saturday Funk Fever then gave a preview of their concert on the big stage with top-class funk and soul music.
On Sunday morning, renowned children's musician Frank Rosin welcomed the youngest hiking enthusiasts with a children's disco, before District Administrator Dr. Axel Lehmann welcomed the star hikers from Lemgo and the Externsteine around noon. In addition to the launch of the initiative, the start of the E1 – Path of Contrasts – and the official highlight of the certification of the Lippe district as a Quality Region for Hiking in Germany, the afternoon ended with an After Walk Party with Tobias Sudhoff, the well-known cabaret artist. In keeping with the theme, the hiking magazine organized two star hikes from Lemgo and the Externsteine to the Detmold Palace Gardens on Sunday via the Lippischer Heimatbund.
Opening of WALK 2016
At the foot of the Hermann Monument, in the middle of one of Germany's most important hiking regions, the WALK Hiking Competence Center has been established. The Teutoburg Forest is thus no longer just the ideal starting point for eventful hikes and bike tours through Lippe, but also an exclamation mark that shines far beyond the land of Hermann.
On April 10, 2016, the hiking season kicked off with a family festival centered around WALK. Guests enjoyed a fantastic program of events for young and old alike. They were able to climb the monument free of charge and enjoy the 360-degree panoramic view of Lippe's landscapes. Free short tours on the history of the Hermann Monument were also offered.
In addition to the Lila Bühne theater group's performance of “Wurzel di– Wurzel da,” there was a treasure hunt for children. Short hikes around the Hermanns area under expert guidance and a health hike from the Externsteine to the Hermanns Monument were also on the program.
Lippe culinary! 2019
Several outstanding chefs, cocktail and coffee experts, and food connoisseurs from the Lippe region have come together to present three days of dishes from all corners of the world for visitors to sample. Classic dishes from Lippe will also be on offer to tempt the taste buds.
The new concept aims to attract large numbers of people to the castle grounds. Delicious tasting stations offer samples of their delicacies – Back To The Roots – back to the beginnings. A simplified situation for restaurateurs – no table service, but self-service with a central clearing service in two large tents to protect against various weather scenarios – rain or heat. The royal house provided additional rest and relaxation areas, e.g., for a children's program during the event. People came closer together again. The best thing, of course, was the large number of visitors in glorious weather and a very special atmosphere.
Art & Lifestyle – In the Name of the Lippische Rose 2006 to 2013
The Lippe rose is a symbol that probably comes to mind for every Lippe resident, consciously or unconsciously, when they think of their homeland. It can be seen just as often on the facades of proud town houses as on the beams of historic half-timbered houses. Wherever it appears, it catches the eye of the observer and proclaims the Lippe residents' attachment to their region. It is the beautiful centerpiece of the Lippe flag and the smallest but certainly most beautiful symbol in the coat of arms of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The Lippe rose is a symbol of home that is second to none. “It's high time that our rose was finally celebrated as it deserves.” A program for young and old blossomed around and inside the castle barn. Lifestyle in a great atmosphere. The trend was whatever appealed, allowing visitors to be captivated by a special event. This event showcased selected products and services from the fields of garden design and maintenance, garden accessories and furniture, plants, special perennials, fine roses, fashion, jewelry, design, and wellness. A colorful supporting program was complemented by art exhibitions on the theme of roses. One highlight was always the presentation of the art and design award.
OWL Gourmet Days 2013
Against the unique backdrop of the castle, the park, and the elegantly rustic barns, well over 100 exhibitors and marketers presented their wares, including artisans and exhibitors offering jewelry, fashion, decorations, and home accessories.
The journey of carrots and other produce from the farm to the consumer was presented in a vivid and entertaining way in a special supporting program. The focus this weekend was on the abundant supply of fruit, vegetables, and wine from the OWL region.
During the gourmet days, the little ones cooked with the grown-ups, as a children's cooking show was organized where the homemade delicacies made with regional products were tasted. Visitors were able to take part in the live cooking shows, where the children prepared something delicious from regional foods.
Lipper Days 2007 to 2015
The “LipperTage” were an informative, communicative, and entertaining event for the entire region. They sparked curiosity about the venue and became a crowd puller. Here, the diversity, beauty, uniqueness, and individuality of the Lippe region were confidently presented.
UrbanLandSummer The REGIONAL Festival
The Lippe projects and projects involving Lippe were presented to the public at the Innovation Campus Lemgo. The presentation of around 20 innovative projects was intended to show visitors what a future-oriented and livable region they live in.
In addition to the presentation on the “project mile,” there was a stage program. The event opened at 11 a.m. with prominent politicians, including Prof. Dr. Andreas Pinkwart, Minister for Economic Affairs, Innovation, Digitalization, and Energy. Simon Pierro, who has also appeared on Ellen DeGeneres, amazed the audience with his iPad magic.
Namika and Max Mutzke in Detmold

We searched for and found 1,000 good reasons to meet and enjoy ourselves at the Waldbühne. On September 25, 2016, there was a cocktail mix of wine, tarte flambée, burgers, wonderful music, and a unique atmosphere under the protection of Hermann.
In late summer, the Waldbühne at the Hermann Monument hosted another special highlight after Max Mutzke in 2016: NAMIKA, known for songs such as “Lieblingsmensch,” performed on September 17, 2017. The concert was presented by Lippische Landes-Brandversicherung and organized by the event management team at Lippe Tourismus & Marketing GmbH.
