The year is already in full swing, and we’re excited to invite you to a fun-filled movie night: the English Sneak Preview on 6 March. Usually, every first Thursday of the month, CineStar Siegen hosts a special surprise screening. You’ll get to watch a super current movie in its original version—before its official nationwide release! The title remains a secret until the movie starts, making it a thrilling and unique experience. Don’t miss out on this exciting cinematic adventure! Who knows? The surprise film might just become your new favorite.

We will meet on 6 March at 7:45 p.m. at the Cinestar Siegen (Sandstraße 31, 57072 Siegen) at the main entrance.

Please note: As the cinema program is not definitively released until the beginning of each week, we cannot say with 100 % certainty that the Sneak Preview will take place as it usually would, and there might be a fairly last minute change of plans. However, we are sure we will have a great time in any case!

So join us and enjoy the movie with us! Please register via email until 4 March, 12 p.m.! Spaces are very restricted, so please register quickly, but only if you are sure you will come.

Please note that the film shown on that day may have an age restriction. Therefore, we can only accept registrations from individuals aged 18 and above.

We are delighted to invite you to a guided tour (in English) in the MGK (Museum of Contemporary Art) of the special exhibition ”Look, the Eyes” this month, to be more precise on 13 February.

This captivating exhibition explores the interplay of seeing and being seen. Eyes gaze out at us from drawings, paintings, photographs, and films, while we, as viewers, look back. What do these gazes seek? Is it an undefined longing that drives them, or are we, the observers, in fact the ones being observed? Seeing and being seen are deeply intertwined, shaping emotions, power dynamics, and social constructs. In a world centered on the sense of sight, the exhibition invites us to delve into the act of seeing itself, exploring its multifaceted nature across various media.

We will meet on 13 February at 5:45 p.m. at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst (Unteres Schloss 1, 57072 Siegen) at the main entrance.

So join us for this interesting guided tour! Please register via email until 10 February, 12 p.m.!

After our cozy Christmas market gathering in December, we would like to invite you to a fun-filled Game Night this month, to be more precise on16 January. This evening will feature a selection of classic and modern board and card games for all to enjoy, ensuring laughter and friendly competition for everyone. You are also welcome to bring your favorite games.

We will meet on 16 January at 6:00 p.m. at the restaurant “Gartenhaus” (Auf den Hütten 12, 57076 Siegen) to start playing. The restaurant offers delicious food, refreshing drinks, and a warm atmosphere — the perfect setting for a relaxed evening.
