Extensive program at the Liebighaus for education and encounters
The Academy 55plus celebrates its 20th anniversary on May 23, 2026. Visitors can expect a public afternoon and evening program at the Justus Liebig House under the motto "Active and creative in old age".
A successful model for active aging
Since its founding in 2006, the association has become a fixture in Darmstadt. More than 1,300 members now take advantage of its diverse range of lectures, language and art courses, as well as exercise and leisure activities.
The academy focuses on the three areas of education, movement and encounter, and organizes its program on a voluntary basis.
Open afternoon program
The anniversary celebration begins in the afternoon from 3 pm to 6 pm with an open program for all interested parties. Various departments will present their offerings and provide insights into courses such as languages, creative writing, or improvisational theater.
Interactive activities and advice sessions – for example, on smartphone use – are also planned. Admission in the afternoon is free.
Evening program with music and entertainment
Starting at 7 p.m., a stage program featuring music, cabaret, and entertainment will take place. Performers include the "Sopranixen," magician Sigma, and the duo "Kabbaratz." The evening will be hosted by Johannes Breckner.
Tickets for the evening program are available for 15 euros.
Invitation to the public
With its anniversary, the Akademie 55plus aims to present its work to a broad audience and at the same time create space for exchange and encounters.
