900 years of Varel: A play brings history back alive!

Varel, Deutschland - The city of Varel celebrates a very special event: 900 years of city history are brought to the stage with a dedicated play. The Low German stage Varel presents "People, Myths, Milestones", which will be performed in Tivoli from October 25 to November 29. This period not only includes the historical roots of the city, but also its current meaning. The piece is listed in High German and promises an impressive journey through the centuries.

historical diversity

The play begins in 1124 and finally ends with a big birthday party for the 900th anniversary of the city in 2024. Among the personalities shown, Varel's last chiefs, whose stories are illuminated as well as those of hall managers and the first female MPs in the Reichstag. The survivor of the last witch trial in Germany, Maria Rampendahl, is also recognized.

The historians and theater professionals Anna-Lena Rohde and Frank Fuhrmann, together with amateur actors, have worked hard to bring these episodes to life. They studied numerous history books and dealt intensively with local history. "The result is 14 episodes that offer many goosebumps moments," says Rohde.

But not only the acting performance will captivate the audience. To spice up the presentation, a video that produced videos for some scenes was hired. In particular, the representation of the Hansawerke requires creative approaches in which historical machines were even filmed through the city.

premiere and ticket information

The premiere of the play will take place on October 25th at 8 p.m. in the Tivoli Varel. Further performances are planned for October 27, and for the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 15th, 17th, 22nd, 24th and 29th. Tickets are available via the platform www.nordwest-ticket.de and in the office of the non-profit organization at Schlossstrasse 7 in Varel. A big rush is expected, because the overall presentation not only addresses theater lovers, but also stimulates interest in the rich history of Varel.

The cooperation with the Low German stage is an important step to keep Varel's legacy alive and to inspire future generations for their own history. The approach of combining through acting and modern media ensures that the audience can immerse yourself in time and experience the history in an authentic way.
