Although it attracts some of the biggest names in sculpture - James Lee Byars and Jasper Johns to name just two - the Institute prides itself on being a showcase for raw new talent. The exciting and varied programme of exhibitions and events ensures that there is something for everyone, whatever their taste in art. Admission: Free

Bring the kids! They are more than welcome here.

This distinguished puppet theatre in the neighbourhood of Eilbek caters(not only) to children over the age of 5 years. The plays often deal with problems which children are confronted with in their everyday life. If you are planning a visit with a group please book in advance! And the accompanying adults should not forget the ear plugs...

The Fundus also produces its own stagings, as well as independent theatre groups giving independent theatre groups a forum to present their work.

Reinbek Castle was designed as a hunting lodge. Adolf Duke of Schleswig-Holstein Gottorf built it in 1576 in the fashion of the Dutch Renaissance. It is located by a beautiful little lake, which makes it both a good starting point or final destination for a long walk. The building was thoroughly refurbished from 1977-1987 and has served as a cultural centre since then. Temporary art exhibitions and classical concert as well as many other events take place here. There is also a nice cafe with an open-air terrace within the castle.
