DenkmalKunst – KunstDenkmal

DenkmalKunst – KunstDenkmal (DKKD) combines art and culture with the historic landmarks of Hann. Münden’s Old Town. For nine days, buildings and landmarks that are normally inaccessible or only partially accessible open their doors to the public.

Local, national, and international artists present their works in historic buildings, churches, towers, cellars, courtyards, and other special locations throughout the city.

During the day, visitors can enjoy a diverse art program featuring paintings, prints, sculptures, photography, and installations. Art is displayed not only inside buildings but also in public spaces, in squares, and along the three rivers. The program is complemented by workshops and opportunities to meet participating artists.

In the evening, the program features music, theater, cabaret, readings, film, performances, and other events. The DKKDisko is also back as part of the festival lineup.

The participating historic buildings are marked during the festival and can be identified, among other things, by the DKKD flags on their facades.

Exhibition Hours

October 3–10, 2026: 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
October 11, 2026: 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

At the start of your festival visit, we recommend stopping by the Info Point on Kirchplatz or the Service Point at the Geschwister-Scholl-Haus. There, ticket holders will receive their festival wristbands, which facilitate access to the participating exhibition venues.

Tickets are available in advance online and at select ticket outlets.

Unlike in previous years, there will be two central box offices in 2026:

• Information Desk on Kirchplatz

• Service Point at the Geschwister-Scholl-Haus

Evening box office hours: daily until 7:30 p.m.

No seat reservations will be made for evening events. There is no guarantee of admission. Visitors who have already been admitted may not hold seats for other people.

Anyone wishing to attend a specific evening event should therefore arrive at the respective venue early.

Several events take place each evening at different locations. Some program items start at staggered times, so if a venue is at capacity, you may be able to attend other program items.

Official admission begins 30 minutes before the start of each event.

Accessibility

The festival takes place at numerous historic sites in the old town of Hann. Münden. Due to varying architectural conditions, barrier-free access cannot be guaranteed for all monuments and event venues.

At some venues, measures are being taken to facilitate access for people with limited mobility, such as ramps.

In addition, works of art and installations are also presented in public spaces, on streets, along rivers, and in parks. Accessibility may vary depending on the location and local conditions.

In 2026, DenkmalKunst – KunstDenkmal will take place for the eighth time. More than 135 artists participated in the 2022 edition of the festival. More than 200 volunteers supported the festival during
