The much-anticipated Giebichensteiner Summer Film Nights are returning to Oberburg Giebichenstein from the 31st of July to the 16th of August, 2025. This year, the event promises a unique twist as online voting will determine the films to be screened.
The films will be shown at the City Museum, Saaleburg, Seebener Straße 1, on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Tickets for the event, priced at €8.50, include admission to the castle. Tickets can be purchased at the box office, which opens at 8 pm, or online through the dedicated website: www.unsere-website.de/summerfilmnights.
