In the organizer's words:

The documentary "Cycling Cities" by & with Ingwar Perowanowitsch will be shown at the Kulturhaus Schwanen Waiblingen on Thursday, April 16, 2026, 7:30 pm - a film evening with the filmmaker in conversation and an open world café on the subject of cycling.
The event is being organized in cooperation with Waiblingen climate-neutral and invites you to discuss the future of cycling in our region.

Perowanowitsch has been traveling by bike for months: Freiburg, Paris, Ghent, Amsterdam, Utrecht, Groningen, Hamburg, Copenhagen - across Europe, he portrays cities that consistently focus on good routes, safe crossings and shared togetherness. His film shows how visions become concrete spaces in which people can travel more relaxed, faster and more quietly.

The evening continues in the Schwanen after the screening: in a film discussion with Ingwar Perowanowitsch, the evening opens up a direct view of experiences that are otherwise only known from afar. In the World Café, visitors will gather ideas, impressions and wishes for Waiblingen and the region in an exchange with experts:

How does cycling in Waiblingen feel right now? What is going well? Where is it stuck? And what can we learn from cities that have had the courage to break new ground?

Ingwar Perowanowitsch(journalist, filmmaker & bicycle activist), Anselm Kick (bicycle coordinator, city of Waiblingen) and Gerhard Brenner (bicycle mechanic & workshop owner) will be there as experts.

The evening offers space for exchange between everyday cyclists, administration, initiatives and everyone who is curious about how mobility can be thought of in a social, safe and climate-friendly way.
