Winter lights in Mannheim’s Luisenpark

On all winter evenings from January 1. – February 2. 2025

Winter is still here, and it’s cold and dark, as always! But that’s no reason to bury our heads in the cold sand, because It’ll soon be Winter Lights Time again! With new photos, and a nice long walk with refreshment stops.

The timing is based on that of last year, but this time it starts on the youngest day of the new year, from January 1, and runs until February 2, 2025, when trees, shrubs and water surfaces in Luisenpark will light up again, disco balls will glitter between plants, and thousands of small light crystals will cover Mannheim’s largest park on the edge of the eastern part of the city. The 2025 light pictures are called “Herzenssache”, “Cocktailstunde”, “Wellenlänge” or “Imagine…” after the unforgettable John Lennon song, because it’s still all about love and peace on our planet. This year, “Bubbleblast 75” and the “Love & Peace” projection on a water mist surface will be particularly impressive in reference to the park’s 50th anniversary. Other video projections with beautiful impressions are reminiscent of the BUGA 1975.

The light route in the western part of the park
While last year the installations were mainly located around the new park center, the 2025 light route covers the entire western part of the park. From the main entrance, the route follows a wide, long circular path to the Lanzvilla entrance. It then “turns around” at the garden chess set, past the lakeside restaurant towards the lake stage and back through the new park center. The end point is again the main entrance. For anyone who gets hungry or shivery halfway through, Rick’s winter village with its rustic and beautiful wooden stalls provides warmth from the inside. A few hundred meters further on, visitors can also make a detour to the lakeside restaurant, which is also open.

Background Winter Lights
Every evening for a few weeks in winter, a fantastic, glittering world is created in Luisenpark Mannheim, in which the treetops and shrubs, the artistic statues, the area around the fountain landscape and mountain stream as well as the banks of the southern Kutzerweiher pond shine in the light of enchanting illuminations. With hundreds of spotlights, dozens of projectors, numerous video beamers and thousands of LED lights, the light artists around Wolfgang Flammersfeld create a fairy-tale, mystical atmosphere every year, taking care to use energy-saving lights as far as possible. The special features are self-made light objects and imaginative, floating light figures. This year, the team around Jürgen Flammersfeld and Rouven Bönisch will be at the start as usual, creating magic with light!
