An event organized by the Cultural Office and the Horticultural Office Bremerhaven

Supported by the Sparda-Bank Hanover Foundation and the Dieckell Foundation

After two years, Gesundheitspark Speckenbüttel will once again become a place of light art just in time for the start of autumn. Six participants will be presenting atmospheric installations for the "Light Night" on September 25. Danish artist Catharina Lindeskov Nielsen will be represented with her spectacular work "1.6 million square kilometers": A full-size humpback whale pup floats in the room. Its body is not made of flesh and bones, but of recycled plastic. Inside, LED lights glow softly and rhythmically like a breath. They refract on the transparent surfaces, casting soft shadows and giving the whale the appearance of being formed from light and water.

Eva Blomeyer aka Lichtloch from Hamburg is showing her "Spiegelkosmos" landscape - a shimmering network of 620 mirrored rods that gently rotate to create sparkling reflections and spatial depth. Bärbel Voigt from Radebeul is represented with her poetic lantern trail "Lichtblicke", which takes the viewer on a journey around the world.

In addition, the duo "ARTFREAKS" will occupy a large area; local Bremerhaven hero Robert Worden is participating with a work specially conceived for the event and Bottrop artist Guido Hofmann will also be there with his object installation "Table Tennis Ball": it alternates between vibrant, bright colors and calm, soft tones and creates a fascinating connection between nature and abstraction.

The "Light Spectacle" on September 26 will be accompanied by various performance acts parallel to the light art exhibition: there will be a fire show with Asura from "aem fireflow" and performances by "Stelzen-Art" in the rose garden next to the Marschenhaus.

Several light art works from schools will also be presented in the park and music will be played in the reawakened Willow Castle natural monument. A sustainable gastronomic offer rounds off the Night of Lights 2025.

Free admission, donations are requested. Visitors are also asked to come by public transport or bicycle, as there are no parking spaces available at the health park.
