Grusel-Wusel-Fest

In the organizer's words:

"It was dark, the moon shone brightly." - Closing party of the creepy-scary story competition 2024

On Halloween, the grounds of the Budde House are spooky and scary. At the final party of the Grusel-Wusel story competition*, selected spooky stories for children will be read aloud, there will be ghostly craft activities and the beer garden will offer scary food and drinks. And a collective moon howl! All kinds of ghosts, big and small, are welcome.

*In thefourth Grusel-Wusel story competition, children, young people and adults were once again invited to write scary stories for children. This year we received over 50 scary stories, this time written jointly by several people. The Grusel-Wusel story competition has been held annually since 2021. Many thanks to all authors!
