Midsummer Party

The first round anniversary of the Deutschlandstipendium was a welcome occasion for us to celebrate extensively and to venture into completely new territory: For the first time in the history of the TUD Deutschlandstipendium, there was an open-air midsummer festival in the "Sleeping Beauty" garden of the Barkhausen Building on June 21, 2022. In fantastic weather, around 200 scholarship holders, sponsors and friends of the Deutschlandstipendium celebrated the many small and large successes of the last 10 years, chatting, feasting and even dancing a little at the end. Details about the event can be found herProgramm.

To warm up and for a first exchange, sponsors and alumni of the Deutschlandstipendium met in the afternoon for the Walk'nTalk. In this format, two long-time scholarship holders introduce the main campus of the Dresden University of Technology. In addition to interesting facts and historical background information, the two students also included current events at the university in the 21st century in their tour. The participants also learned about the first railroad locomotive, the latest research reactor and the motorcycle ride in the Zeunerbau. More information is available hier.

The evening was opened with another premiere: At the first Science Slam of the Deutschlandstipendiat:innen, really brave young slammers dared to take the big Science Slam stage for the first time and shared their current studies and research with us in a very entertaining way. Chapeau and congratulations to the three finalists Katharina Hönicke, Thorgund Nemec and Sebastian Blume for their great performance! Finally, there was a fireworks display that was well worth seeing.

In the tradition of a Swedish Midsommar celebration, there was also a Tipspromenad with typical questions from the country and special questions about the Deutschlandstipendium at the TU Dresden. If you want to try your hand at it, you can find questions and solutions here: Tipspromenad

A huge THANK YOU goes to our many helpers from the scholarship holders and TUD colleagues - without them we would never have managed it! We would also like to thank our many sponsors, who generally make the Deutschlandstipendium possible in the first place, and in particular made one or two extra things come true at the Midsummer Festival through sponsoring and donations of money and goods. We would also like to thank the band OLUMA for the great live music, MA(H)L ANDERS and LisaLi for the delicious barbecue and cold dishes, Lohrmanns beer and Jacques' Weindepot in Dresden-Strehlen for the extremely drinkable beverages. Special thanks also go to Ralf Jentzsch from Mietmagazin for the patient advice, Frank Angermann from Tontechnik Dresden for the impressive surprise fireworks and to Anna-Maria Hantschke for the great photos!
