greatest Fantasy-Festival
ANNOTOPIA … in a nutshell
In ANNOTOPIA there aren´t any conventions, there´s no right or wrong, there’s no limit for your thoughts and actions.
ANNOTOPIA is new and inspiring, curios and sometimes bizarre but always full of love and geniality.
From primeval dinosaurs to futuristic fictual Star Wars heroes – you will meet them all on your journey through ANNOTOPIA! Enjoy a fantastic world full of magic along with Professor Abraxo and his steam-rider.
Around the splendid castles of Lüdinghausen, the beautiful castle park in Rotenburg and (NEW!) at residential palace park in Bad Mergentheim, the most creative folks of Europe will present all their artistry, crafts and skills. The adorable atmospheres provide an almost perfect scenery for cultural and culinary highlights, where either various fabulous (elves, goblins, dwarves, …), pirates and vikings, Victorian steampunks, medieval knights as well as visitors of all kinds and ages can feel special and extraordinary. A great spetacular festival for the whole familiy. You have to experience it to believe it. So watch our ANNOTOPIA-Trailer and check out the ANNOTOPIA-Photogroup on Facebook; there you will get first fantastic impressions.
The World of ANNOTOPIA … with one click!
After the great premiere festivals in 2018 with more than 10,000 visitors, followed by the new editions in 2019 with a total of over 16,000 visitors, the ANNOTOPIA-trip should actually continue in 2020. Corona has unfortunately denied us this. But that´s exactly why we should make ANNOTOPIA even more fantastic in 2021 … at three locations:
• Residential Palace Park, Bad Mergentheim – 21st & 22nd of August 2021
• Schlosspark Rotenburg a. d. Fulda – 11th und 12th of September 2021
• Wasserburgenlandschaft Lüdinghausen – 2nd & 3rd of October 2021
All information about the festivals is of course available here on this homepage and always up to date on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Covid 19-Update (29.03.2021)
Dear friends of ANNOTOPIA,
we would like to provide you with better news, but the pandemic situation simply does not allow it at the moment.
Unfortunately, the ANNOTOPIA Festival in Lüdinghausen cannot take place on 08 + 09 May 2021.
According to § 13 (3) of the new Corona Protection Ordinance of the Federal State of North Rhine-Westphalia, which applies from today, large festival events are prohibited until at least 31 May 2021.
But of course we will do everything we can to ensure that Lüdinghausen does not have to do without ANNOTOPIA for a second year in a row.
That’s why we’re presenting you with the alternative date at the same time:
We look forward to seeing you in Lüdinghausen on 02 + 03 October 2021!
Tickets already purchased (for 2020 and 2021) will of course remain valid. Everything you need to know about ticket refunds can be found HERE.
Take care!

ANNOTOPIA comes to Bad Mergentheim for the first time in summer 2021
Exterior grounds of the Residenzschloss will become a spectacle mile for the whole family / State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg, city administration and noa entertainment cooperate
“The great monuments have always captured the imagination of visitors – this inspiring atmosphere is what makes a historic place like the Residenzschloss Mergentheim and its park so special,” says Michael Hörrmann, Managing Director of the State Palaces and Gardens Baden-Württemberg. “With ANNOTOPIA we can offer space for a new event format – and that is one of our central concerns: Opening up new accesses to the historical monuments”.
ANNOTOPIA is also an exciting new project for the city, as Lord Mayor Udo Glatthaar emphasises: “As a concert backdrop, the outdoor area of our palace is already well-known and popular. Now the area including the park will be presented in a completely new and literally ‘fantastic’ way. Together with our new partner SSG and with noa entertainment we can set fresh impulses. I am delighted about this and I myself am looking forward to this experience”.
Together with Kersten Hahn, head of the cultural office, Lord Mayor Udo Glatthaar sees the preparations for the project as a strong signal to look ahead and to get started again as soon as possible in Bad Mergentheim. “With ANNOTOPIA we are also expanding our target group and positioning Bad Mergentheim once again as a location for innovative event formats,” says Kersten Hahn.
3 x ANNOTOPIA in 2021 !!!
Now for the good news:
After a whole year without ANNOTOPIA in 2020 we are looking forward to THREE festivals next year.
The two established locations in Lüdinghausen and Rotenburg a. d. Fulda will be joined in August by Residential Palace Park in Bad Mergentheim.
So from August 21 to 22, 2021, the time has come: Premiere of the ANNOTOPIA Fantasy Festival in the south of our republic. Look forward to impressive entertainment and fascination in the usual ANNOTOPIA way for the whole family at special, discounted premiere prices! More information will follow shortly.
