Brandenburg monastery summer
The Brandenburger Klostersommer is a theater festival . It takes place every year in June and July in Brandenburg an der Havel .
Beginnings
The Brandenburger Klostersommer was brought into being in 2001 by the non-profit association event-theater based in Brandenburg an der Havel. With the performance of the comedy Don Juan by Molière , the format established itself within the cultural landscape of Brandenburg with supraregional attention. The acceptance of the festival allowed it to expand rapidly and its repertoire to extend into the winter. Since the late season with the name "Brandenburger Klostersommer" could no longer be brought into meaningful correspondence, the Brandenburger Christmas Stage format was created in 2012 .

In addition, other locations within the city of Brandenburg an der Havel have been used in the past, such as the Brandenburg Cathedral , St. Gotthard Church , Plaue Castle , the former worsted yarn spinning mill and Heinrich-Heine-Ufer on the Havel .
