Karl May Games launched

"Winnetou II" - Karl May Games launched

With a furious spectacle of Action, Love, Betrayal and Heroism, the Karl-May-Plays in Bad Segeberg started into their 71st season on a Saturday evening. "Winnetou II - Ribanna and Old Firehand" is the only piece by Karl May where Winnetou (Alexander Klaws) is allowed to fall in love. But Ribanna (Sila Sahin) has to decide between the Apache chief and his friend Old Firehand (Jan Hartmann).

Their joint fight against the arch-villain Emery Forster (Nick Wilder) on an elaborate set with the Western town New Venango, a soldiers' fort, the Assiniboine camp and Old Firehand's cabin built high up in the rocks makes it no easier. The Evil achieves successes, time and again it's a close call for the Heroes. But the audience in Bad Segeberg knows that in the end it never goes well for the Villains with Karl May.

Until the 8th of September, under the direction of Nicolas König, 72 performances will be played. Last year, more than 430,000 spectators came to the open-air theater at the Kalkberg in Bad Segeberg.
