Rheinsich Bergisch Calendar 2025

Behind every corner in the Bergisches Land, stories are waiting to be discovered. Boldly, and sometimes even daringly, the current Rheinisch-Bergische Calendar places them side by side: a men's choir called "loud but off-key" next to a conductor who performs on stages around the world, cybercrime alongside Engelbert von Berg, who met a treacherous end 200 years ago, a football world champion next to a cult-status liquor store. From water buffaloes in Overath to a three-dimensional spinal operation and the 250-year-old Gnadenkirche in Bergisch Gladbach, the calendar showcases a kaleidoscope of diversity in the Bergisches Land. Questions are also answered, such as why the local red deer seem trapped like in a ghetto and how a women's football team transformed into a regionally renowned cheerleading squad. 28 authors have gathered these stories and written them with expertise and passion, illustrated with over 300 images.
