What's new in Frankfurt? The cultural city is currently coming to life with exciting events, and recent events are generating a lot of interest. In particular the live painting action by Rudi Hurzlmeier Caricatura Museum attracts visitors interested in art. The action, which took place over six hours over three days, gives viewers a unique insight into the artist's creative process.
Hurzlmeier will cause a sensation with his work “Nocturne – Satan opens the Redeemer”. Four dates within three days offer the opportunity to watch him at work: on Friday, July 18, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., on Saturday, July 19, between 1:00 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. and on Sunday, July 20, from 12:00 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. For art lovers, it is an opportunity to learn more about the background and inspiration that goes into his works.
The exhibition “Europe”
The artist’s exhibition “Europe” can be seen at the Caricatura Museum until September. Hurzlmeier, who has intensively dealt with the topic of the European Union, noted that his exhibition in the EU Parliament in Strasbourg was banned by the European Union just two weeks before the planned opening in 2024. How hessenschau reports, the images were created for Martin Sonneborn, the non-attached member of the European Parliament. The works reflect Hurzlmeier's critical view of the EU and are not only provocative, but also an expression of his artistic work over a period of six months.
In addition to the “banned” works, new works created specifically for the exhibition can also be admired in the Caricatura Salon. The salon exhibition series aims to expand political commentary and discussions about artistic freedom and is accompanied by a lively exchange that stimulates thought.
A cultural-historical find
While the art scene in Frankfurt is flourishing, there are also exciting developments in Hanau. Archaeologists discovered the remains of a defensive tower and parts of the city wall during what was considered a complex excavation. These finds are not only of interest to antique lovers, but also provide valuable insights into the history of the region. A real treasure that shows how complex and exciting Hessian cultural history is.
In summary, Hesse is currently a hot spot for those interested in culture and history. Whether it's Rudi Hurzlmeier's inspiring creative process or the latest archaeological discoveries - there's definitely a lot to experience here!
