In 2027, the Friends of Klosterkirche Maihingen celebrate their 40th anniversary. The annual programme ranges from rock music and choral singing to the historic organ and shared Advent songs.

The anniversary also looks ahead: the audio tours will offer new ways to discover architecture, art and the organ. Experience music, look closely and share responsibility – the Friends’ invitation extends beyond the anniversary year.
