Abitur 2025: Celebrate by the sea and the exciting Sellin Festival!

Bergen auf Rügen, Deutschland - beach feeling and great feelings in the school corridors: On July 21, 2025, Rügen shines through the glamor of school qualifications and through the lively atmosphere of the day by the Sea Festival. 76 students from the Ernst Moritz Arndt-Gymnasium have received their high school diploma in Bergen today. Between cheering friends and proud parents, three graduates with a grade of 1.0 highlight. The entire vintage passed with a grade average of 2.5, and a total of 99 high school graduates on Rügen successfully completed the school. Many of them look full of anticipation, training or studying.

and while the graduates are planning their next steps into the future, music lovers are drawn to the beach from Prora for the day at the Sea Festival, which took place on July 18 and 19, 2025. Hundreds celebrated in bright sunshine with a colorful music program consisting of house, reggae and deep house. Organized by the Landjugendverband M-V e.V., the festival offers a careful selection of artists to create a special mood. As reported tagemener-festival.de, the loving decoration ensured an inviting atmosphere, while regional treats and stands with jewelry and henna tattoos were available for visitors.

upcoming highlight on the beach

In the sixth edition of the festival, there are also big names. Not only the visitors of the day at the Sea Festival can look forward to a great line-up; The Selliner Sommer Open Air is also at the door on the beach of Sellin. The concerts with DJ duo "disturbed but horny" on July 25th, Johannes Oerding on July 31 and "Purple Disco Machine" on August 1 promise a magnificent week. A special plus: With the concert ticket, the use of local public transport is included, which makes it easier for many to travel.

the look ahead and challenges

not only the festival landscape grows, the focus is also on responsibilities in the social field. The CDU has submitted a proposal to transfer responsibility for the job center in Vorpommern-Rügen to the Federal Employment Agency. The reason for this is the structural challenges, stagnating integration rates and increasing administrative costs. An online user account for customers could also bring advantages and make access to the services easier.

Away from the celebrations there was recently a traffic accident on Rügen, in which four children were slightly injured. The accident occurred due to an accommodation error at the intersection B196 and Bergener Königsstraße. Passers -by now call for the establishment of a roundabout to increase security in this critical point.

The cultural and festival landscape in Germany is continuously observed, as the "nationwide cultural statistics" shows. It is recorded what importance music festivals have for the cultural sector and how they promote cultural diversity. Information on this is available in a documentary on the music festival scene in Germany, which is regularly updated to provide an overview of the developments in this area, such as kmk.org

With all these events on Rügen it is clear: there is a lot at stake - both in the school corridors and on the beach. Rügen not only offers a stage for musical highlights, but also space for social developments and the anticipation for the next festival edition 2026.
