What will the coming weekend bring? Where can I hear music, see theater or cabaret? Where are there new special exhibitions in the museums? You used to be able to find out about this from the newspaper. But if you aren't a football fan, and therefore one of the most intensive newspaper readers in the opinion of the publishers, you are increasingly at risk of missing out. I can't find the old column with the most important cultural events of the weekend in the local section of my favorite paper, nor can I find reviews of these events in the thin Monday or Tuesday paper. Mind you, not even in the online editions of the medium from the same publishing house - far away, somewhere in the Swiss Mittelland.
Not quite true: On Friday I at least heard about a performance by a europe rcs data duo in the "Bären" near the city that makes music on pan lids, and on Saturday I was recommended a tour of the Historical and Ethnological Museum. But that was it. Apart from the fact that the church bulletin fills one or two newspaper pages. But that is not editorial content. Overall, a little too little, no, quite simply a mockery of the cultural and social life of a city with a catchment area of 170,000 (region) or even over 700,000 (Lake Constance metropolitan area) inhabitants. With a theater as a three-part operation and two venues, a renowned orchestra, several small theaters, regular sacred music events in the cathedral and the main reformed church, as well as lots of cabaret, readings - all of this, albeit partly limited, even in Corona times.
