Friedrichshafen, where Zeppelin University is based, didn’t have many concerts. For someone like me, who grew up going to concerts every week, this was a devastating shock to find out. After working for the student radio station Welle20 for a while some friends and I decided to found our own concert-concept: The Wellenreiter Concert series. We started organizing small concerts in unusual locations in Friedrichshafen that neither students or locals were likely to visit by themselves. This way we’ve hacked the community and united the local population with the students through curiosity and a shared new experience. The first concert took place in a small independent cinema and was sold out, the second concert was held in a greenhouse.

Organizing those small concerts in odd locations was a great opportunity to apply all the theoretical concepts we learned during our studies of “Communication and Cultural Management” at Zeppelin University.

Wellenreiter concerts started as an idea and project by Hannah Bahl, Kilian von Dallwitz and Jürgen Muckenschnabel
Artists: We focused on upcoming German speaking artists: among them Die höchste Eisenbahn, Nicolaus Sturm, Florian Horwarth
