Gütersloh celebrates 200 years: An anniversary for all citizens!

In 2025, the city of Gütersloh celebrates its 200th anniversary with an impressive program. Mayor Matthias Trepper emphasizes that this will be an anniversary of citizens for citizens. 200 events are planned throughout the year, which celebrate the culture and community of the city under the motto "time travel". The anniversary is to be designed in a variety of ways and across generations, emphasizes Kultur Director Andreas Kimpel, who deliberately decided against a kick -off ceremony with large show acts to take the local conditions into account. The program includes innovative ideas, from a special edition of the "Salzburger Bull" cabaret price to an anniversary -special wine that was created especially for this occasion. At the celebrations, among other things, the “Gütersloh anthem” of the secret rappers B 61 will also be heard, which is deliberately dedicated to the city and is already available on platforms such as Spotify, such as nw.de reported.

a cultural festival for everyone

Overall, the celebrations will be a real festival for the senses, including a large -scale festival weekend on May 17th and 18th. In parallel to these events, the anniversary logo, colorful and confused, will symbolize the numerous highlights. With 200 individual parts, it stands for every highlight of the celebrations that the city should offer a platform to redefine its history and its future. The anniversary program is supported by important sponsors such as Bertelsmann, who will present a special exhibition "Opera meets New Media" in autumn. The city administration has already launched a comprehensive anniversary app with which all interested parties cannot miss any of the events, as Guetersloh.de communicated.
