Fountain Festival in Bad Sooden-Allendorf: Rain defies pop stars!

On Saturday evening, June 11, 2025, the Soodener Brunnenfest shone in new splendor, even if the weather was anything but inviting at the beginning. The event, known as “Night of the Stars”, took place in front of the stage of the Culture and Congress Center. However, the local population was not deterred. Hna.de reports that although the rain stopped during the event, performances were still affected by the adverse weather conditions.

The dazzling event offered a colorful program with various actors who took on the roles of well-known pop stars. Christian Kell appeared as Wolfgang Petry with the hit “Wahnsinn”, while the Abba Quartet, consisting of Christine Klebe, Ralf Spengler, Andrea and Oliver Apel, thrilled the audience with “Super Trouper”. Lars Wachmuth, who appeared as Andreas Gabalier, created a good atmosphere with “Hallihallo”, as did Tobias Klenke, who played Semino Rossi with “Red are the Roses”.

An invitation to celebrate

The official opening of the fountain festival was taken over by Mayor Frank Hix together with festival committee chairman Tobias Klenke, while a Whitsun tree was set up at the Wendischer Markt with the help of the fire department. The impressive set-up time of just 43 minutes was rewarded with much applause from the audience. To round off the festival, a festive illumination of the spa park was also planned for Sunday evening. Unfortunately, this had to be canceled due to cold temperatures and rain.

Another highlight of the festival would be a giant crane with a balloon and a gondola, which would offer participants a breathtaking view of the city.
