Unterstützerverein für Heidelberg und die Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar · 2034?
Salons, talks and encounters – Kultur für Europa invites people into dialogue.
Heidelberg und Metropolregion kulturell stärken
Den Bewerbungsprozess fördernd begleiten
Menschen und Institutionen vernetzen – fuer alle
The salons of Kultur für Europa are a visible part of the association’s work. Through talks, panels and artistic formats, we accompany Heidelberg’s bid with public exchange, networking and cultural attention – supported by a civic network across Heidelberg and the wider region.
Upcoming formats use carefully selected free visuals, while archived salons remain connected to authentic event photography. Salon photographer: Sabine Arndt. The association has reached about 500 members and is active on Instagram (@kultur_fuer_europa_heidelberg).
Kiosk partner
Volksbank supports the planned kiosk formats as a sponsoring partner.
At the moment, three upcoming events are visible: the Maimarkt period from 25 April to 5 May 2026, the public event on 13 April and the public committee session on 19 March 2026.
