Gaming fever in Göttingen: Youth library invites you to play!

The world of the gaming is booming and attracting more and more young people. The upcoming event "Gaming in the Youth Library" in Göttingen offers a nice example of this. On Friday, June 27, 2025, young people from 14 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. have the opportunity to play at the Nintendo Switch in the youth library of the city library in the Thomas-Buergenthal-Haus, Gotmarstraße 8. Registrations are already possible because the number of participants is limited to a maximum of 8 people, but there is no upper limit for those interested.

The event is organized in collaboration with the e-sports Union Göttingen e.V. , which was founded in 2020 and has been building up a lively community around E-Sport around Göttingen since its origin. In addition to organizing events, ESUG promotes participation in competitions, offers regular community evenings and streaming tournaments on platforms such as Twitch. The cooperation with the ASC Göttingen also ensures that the participants can benefit from excellent trainer expertise and valuable hardware.

The passion for digital games

e-sport has grown into a serious area that is not only fun, but also offers numerous options. While big tournaments distribute millions of prize money, such as the Dota 2 competition "The International", a stronger awareness of the recognition of e-sports has developed in Germany. It is no longer only perceived as a pure game, but also as a potential profession, such as bpb.de Merkt.

No matter whether passionate gamer or newcomer, the event in the youth library offers a great opportunity to immerse yourself in the world of e-sports. The mixture of competition and community will certainly appeal to many young people and invite you to establish new friendships.

A look into the future

In a time when digital games have more than just entertainment value, the Esug shows that local initiatives can also move a lot. With commitment and creativity, you ensure that e-sports and gaming are not only dismissed as hype, but are seriously regarded as part of modern culture. E-sport has developed from a niche topic to a responsible leisure activity that covers many interests and demands both team spirit and strategic thinking.

The city administration also chose a modern approach to achieve young people via Telegram and Notify, which makes it easier to find out more about such events. If you have any suggestions or opinions, you can contact the city administration directly at the email address youring@goettingen.de. It remains to be seen how the future of e-sports in Göttingen and beyond is also designed-but the trend is clear towards growth and acceptance.
