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, at residential palace park in Bad Mergentheim and (NEW!) at Marienburg Castle (Pattensen near Hanover) 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.

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.
