SUMMARY:Special exhibition - Propaganda and enlightenment. The work of Emsland GmbH as reflected in its public relations work
DESCRIPTION:The Meppen City Museum is taking part in the theme and anniversary year “75 years of the Emsland Plan” with a multifaceted exhibition. The subject is the work of “Emsland GmbH” as reflected in its PR and public relations work\, which opens up a new perspective and a fresh look at the subject of the “Emsland Plan”. Spectacular objects and stagings are used to trace not only the PR work itself\, but also the development of communication\, advertising and (mass) media in the second half of the 20th century using the local example. Shortly after the GmbH was founded in March 1951\, it became clear how much importance was attached to press and public relations work by the company. “There is no question\,” wrote the first managing director\, Johann Dietrich Lauenstein\, on March 19\, 1951\, “that propaganda and education are important tools for achieving a set goal.” The management knew that an “image” had to be built up for the company and its activities – and ultimately for Emsland itself: the implementation of the Emsland Plan\, the GmbH and the region were to be developed as “brands”. The exhibition will open on December 12\, 2025 in the city museum at the Koppelschleuse. The exhibition will be accompanied by a museum education program and a series of events with lectures\, film screenings and excursions in the city museum. A conference is planned for spring 2026.         \nPlace: City Museum Meppen \nAdmission: adults 4 €\, families 7 €\, children (6 – 16 years) 2 €

SUMMARY:Annual exhibition of the art school Children are inventors
DESCRIPTION:April 10 – June 7 \nAnnual exhibition of the art school. Children are inventors.  \nThe title “Children are inventors” is more than just a motto – it is an invitation to discover and help shape the world with open eyes\, a curious mind and creative hands. Children have a unique ability to see the everyday with different eyes\, to question the familiar and invent new things. They experiment\, combine\, reject and start all over again – this creative process is of inestimable value: aesthetic education. Aesthetic education is much more than learning artistic techniques. It means experiencing the world through the senses\, discovering forms of expression and sharpening one’s own perception. It promotes imagination\, empathy\, critical thinking and self-confidence – skills that extend far beyond the artistic sphere and are indispensable for a vibrant\, democratic society.      \nWith this program\, the Koppelschleuse art school offers a space in which this potential can grow. Here\, children can explore\, design and give free rein to their creativity – accompanied by experienced instructors who encourage them to ask questions and go their own way.  \nAt the end of the “Children are inventors” program\, the results will be presented to the general public at the Koppelschleuse 2025 art center. Individual and joint works by the art students on the theme of “Art – Traces – Search” will be on display in the exhibition.  \n  \nSupported by the Emsländische Landschaft \n  \nPlace: Koppelschleuse Art Center \nAdmission: free \nOpening hours: Tue. + Thu. 2 – 5 p.m.\nSat. 2 – 5 p.m.\nSun. 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

SUMMARY:Film workshop with videographer Philipp Koch
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, April 16 to Sunday\, April 19\, 2026   \nFilm workshop with videographer Philipp Koch  \n  \nWhat would a promotional film about Emsland look like if it were directed by Quentin Tarantino or narrated by the pirate Jack Sparrow? In the four-day film workshop\, participants will both look at the history of the medium of film as a PR tool and become filmmakers themselves. The course consists of a mix of film history and theory and a practical part. Philipp Koch\, videographer and filmmaker from Frankfurt\, will use well-known film examples to explain the basics of film language (dramaturgy\, editing\, camera perspective) and with reference to the Emsland advertising films “Moordämmerung” and “Sechzig x Hundert – eine Emslandreportage”. The group then develops and shoots short scenes based on a storyboard. The participants actively shape the film! Finally\, the film will be cut\, edited and presented in the city museum. The workshop is aimed at anyone aged 16 and over who is interested in film and is intended to develop an understanding of the connections between film history and contemporary forms of expression as well as their own creativity. The course takes place both in the city museum and at various outdoor locations. No previous knowledge or equipment is required.          \nPlace: City Museum Meppen \nTime: all day\, to be announced before the workshop date \nAge: from 16 years \nFee: € 195 (adults aged 25 and over)\, \n150 € (young people\, pupils and students up to 25 years) \nRegistration: call 05931 153 278 or send an e-mail to \nsaskia.lorenz@meppen.de \n  \n
