26 Deutsche EuroShop ANNUAL REPORT 2014 CENTER Golden twenties in Dessau Wind and weather in Klagenfurt Crazy about shop- ping in Wolfsburg The 22nd Kurt Weill Festival was held in Dessau from 21 February to 21 March 2014. More than 50 concerts ranging from symphony orchestra to jazz were dedicated to the composer of the Threepenny Opera who was born in Dessau in 1900. The concerts were accompanied by a multi- faceted programme that included everything from tea dances to film screenings. Renowned ensembles and soloists from Germany and abroad performed many new cover versions live at a multitude of different venues. Radio was a special focus area in 2014 and the event featured an evening-long broadcast directly from the Kurt Weill Lounge which was set up in the Rathaus-Center specifically for this show. The center not only acted as the event’s main sponsor, but also served as a partner venue for the festival. C Sun, ice, storms and more befell the City Arkaden in Klagenfurt in early February 2014. At the special “Our weather – and how it works” hands-on exhibit, visitors had the opportunity to gain an insight into weather phenom- ena and climate change at ten different stations. The exhibit focused not only on conveying information but also allow- ing visitors to experience the various phenomena first-hand as they stood face-to-face with a self-generated tornado or watched lightning strike, for instance. Visitors even had the opportunity to present a weather forecast in a simulated weather studio while simultaneously learning how to read a weather map. School groups, in particular, were thrilled to take advantage of the free, individual tours. C The Shopping Star fashion contest thrilled participants on 14 and 15 March in the City-Galerie in Wolfsburg and the event received a great deal of praise from candidates, guests and Facebook users alike. The concept: candidates went on shop- ping sprees with the presenters, attended before/after makeovers and were invited to a “clothes swap”. It featured numerous an- tics including handbag inspections and impromptu bursts into song. The colourful programme was extremely entertaining and put smiles on the faces of those lucky enough to win shopping vouchers. Visitors to the mall enthusiastically helped decide who would win the title of “Shopping Star” with votes being tallied on Facebook and on the basis of the applause received by each candidate. Not only were the three first-place winners each pre- sented with a €300 voucher, but all nine candidates were able to take their outfits home as a gift.
