Karl May games start with half-blood-7,500 spectators enthusiastic!

Bad Segeberg celebrates the start of the 72nd season of the popular Karl May games. On June 28, 2025, the premiere of the new piece "Halbblut" was invited, and around 7,500 visitors flocked to the open -air theater to experience an unforgettable evening together. Prime Minister Daniel Günther was among the guests of honor and praised the committed work of the organizers and helpers behind the scenes. The theater was sold out that evening, which shows perfectly how high the interest in this traditional event is. The Karl May games have attracted more than 14 million viewers since they were founded, a real crowd puller!

What is "half -blood"? The action takes the audience into the American southern states, where a man is caught between two worlds and struggles in the mountains with secret adventures. Alexander Klaws, who is on stage for the fifth time in his role as Winnetou, is accompanied by Bastian Semm as an Old Shatterhand. In other roles, Francis Fulton-Smith and Sonja Kirchberger fight as opponents for dominance in this exciting history. The staging not only brings impressive playful performance, but also spectacular stunts and pyrotechnics on the stage that keep the audience in suspense.
