Culture, joy and vitality have belonged together in Bad Elster since the beginning.
In Bad Elster, not only physical well-being but also cultural enjoyment plays an important role. The outstanding range of events offered all year round in a “Royal Saxon” ambience characterizes Bad Elster as a cultural and festival city with an international flair. Above all, the historical venues located in the beautiful park landscapes, such as the magnificent King Albert Theater, the representative Royal Kurhaus, the light-flooded KunstWandelhalle, the NaturTheater and the three music pavilions inspire the audience and enable culture to be experienced in a changing atmosphere!
The traditional cultural life has delighted guests of Bad Elster since royal times.
Cosmopolitanism and cultural dialogue have been deeply anchored in Chursaxony since the beginning of the 19th century. There has always been a lively artistic exchange across borders. A highly respected orchestra, the Chursächsische Philharmonie, has existed in Bad Elster since 1817. The Philharmonic and its ensembles can be seen regularly with concerts and musical theater productions in the renowned König Albert Theater in Bad Elster. The house itself is one of the most magnificent court theaters in Germany. Thanks to the sophisticated and varied schedule of all genres, Bad Elster has become a meeting point for culture enthusiasts from the entire Saxon-Bohemian spa region, the spa heart of Europe. Culture crowns every stay here!
