Celebrating together at the Quellenturm – 5 years of UNESCO World Heritage "Great Spa Towns of Europe"

Join us on Friday, July 24, 2026, starting at 5 p.m. for a special summer evening around the Quellenturm in Bad Ems!
The city of Bad Ems warmly invites you to celebrate our five-year anniversary as part of the UNESCO World Heritage site "Great Spa Towns of Europe" and to rediscover the freshly renovated Quellenturm together with the Staatsbad Bad Ems.
With the thermal water as the source of our World Heritage, we have thoughtfully chosen the venue around the unique Quellenturm. Be curious about where and how the Bad Ems water will greet us throughout the evening.
From the late afternoon, the left bank of the Lahn River will transform into an atmospheric meeting point for enjoyment, discovery, and relaxation.
Look forward to a diverse program featuring: concerts by Benedict Cork, the New Hot, TribalNeed and Yannick Monot. Dance and performances by Tanzfabrik Mittelrhein, VoLA Stage Art and light art by Tomm Jeckel as well as participatory activities like the DAKN Mobile Screen Printing Workshop and "Bad Ems laughs reloaded" with Thomas Heuchemer
Experience special World Heritage moments and discover its historical as well as modern facets.
Let us together embrace the past. Shape the future.
We look forward to celebrating this special evening together with you!

Admission free!
