Events today in Regensburg – Tips & Highlights
Events today in Regensburg (from now): What's happening on Wednesday evening, November 4, 2026?
Regensburg is especially strong in cinema and culture today. To make sure you don't catch something that has already started or is over, this overview focuses exclusively on upcoming program points from the current time onwards (as of: November 4, 2026, 12:08 p.m.).
Note: Despite careful compilation, admission times, room changes, or last-minute cancellations may occur. Please check the information from the respective organizers in advance (tickets/reservations, accessibility, age ratings).
Afternoon: Circus & early film starts
Circus show (3:00 p.m.): Family-friendly performance
Start: 3:00 p.m.
In the afternoon, a circus show is announced as a family-friendly format. If you're out with children (or just in the mood for live acrobatics), this is a good way to start the evening before readings, theater, or cinema begin later.
Tip: For family-oriented events, it's worth checking admission (often 30–45 minutes before the start) and any age or seating notes directly with the organizer.
Cinemas at Andreasstadel: Early screenings in the afternoon
If you're more inclined towards arthouse cinema today, you'll find several starts in the afternoon at Andreasstadel, including:
- 2:30 p.m. – “Mumbo Jumbo”
- 3:00 p.m. – “The Walk to Syracuse”
- 5:00 p.m. – “Faith (Los Domingos)”
- 5:30 p.m. – “Chopin – A Sonata in Paris”
Especially on weekdays, afternoon starts are practical: you can start early and later add a second evening event (e.g., theater or late film).
Evening program Cinema: Arthouse, Politics & Genre
Arthouse cinema / Film gallery: “Queens of the Dead” (7:00 p.m.)
Start: 7:00 p.m.
At 7:00 p.m., “Queens of the Dead” will be shown at the arthouse cinema (Bertoldstraße). If you're looking for an evening that deliberately stays away from mainstream premieres, this is a good choice: arthouse cinemas often curate films that combine subculture, social issues, and genre aesthetics.
Planning tip: Allow time for travel, admission, and possible commercials/trailers if you want to catch a second program point afterwards.
Cinemas at Andreasstadel: Evening screenings (7:45 & 8:45 p.m.)
In the evening block, two more starts follow at Andreasstadel:
- 7:45 p.m. – “The Blood Countess”
- 8:45 p.m. – “Sacrifice”
If you're in the mood for a distinctly darker tone today, this cinema evening is especially fitting. For many film fans, these curated evenings are exactly why they prefer arthouse cinemas to interchangeable multiplex routines.
Ostentor Cinema: Society & Politics (6:30 & 8:45 p.m.)
At Ostentor Cinema, two screenings are on the schedule today:
- 6:30 p.m. – “Faith (Los Domingos)”
- 8:45 p.m. – “State Security”
If you'd rather deal with social, religious, or democracy-related issues in the evening, you'll find a suitable alternative to pure entertainment formats here.
Evening program Stage & Reading
Theater: “The Play That Goes Wrong” (7:30 p.m., Antoniushaus)
Start: 7:30 p.m.
For an evening that is light-hearted yet skillfully crafted, “The Play That Goes Wrong” at Antoniushaus is a good choice. The play thrives on controlled mishaps, timing, and slapstick – ideal if you're consciously looking for something comedic after a long day.
Tip: If you want to catch a late film afterwards, choose a cinema with enough buffer time for cloakroom and travel.
Reading: Wladimir Kaminer (8:00 p.m., Club Hall Cultural Center)
Start: 8:00 p.m.
At 8:00 p.m., Wladimir Kaminer will be reading in the Club Hall of the Cultural Center (Galgenbergstraße). Readings are one of the most relaxed ways to experience live culture today: focused, interactive, and often connected with audience discussions or book signings.
For spontaneous visitors: Check ticket availability in advance – well-known names can sell out quickly even during the week.
Lecture: “Conspiracy Ideologies and Democracy” (7:00–9:00 p.m.)
Time: 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.
If you're specifically looking for debate and further education today, you can attend a lecture on “Conspiracy Ideologies and Democracy: How they work and what we can do” in the evening. Such events are especially helpful when they not only describe problems but also explain concrete mechanisms and options for action (e.g., conversation strategies, media literacy, prevention).
Important: Allow enough time for travel and possibly registration; depending on the organizer, admission control or limited seating capacity may apply.
Late evening: Wind down & film double
Circus show (8:00 p.m.): Evening performance
Start: 8:00 p.m.
For everyone who prefers live entertainment in the evening, there is a second circus show at 8:00 p.m. If you're looking for a visually strong format that works without much prior knowledge, this is an uncomplicated choice.
Late film screenings (from 8:45 p.m.): ideal after reading or theater
If you want to combine two cultural points today, the 8:45 p.m. slots are especially practical:
- 8:45 p.m. – “Sacrifice” (Andreasstadel)
- 8:45 p.m. – “State Security” (Ostentor Cinema)
This allows you, for example, to attend theater or a lecture first and then add a film – provided you plan travel and end times realistically.
Practical tips for today
- Decide based on your energy: If you're rather tired, choose a clear “sit-down” event (reading/cinema). If you still have energy, theater or circus is often more dynamic.
- Combine with buffer: Plan at least 30–45 minutes of buffer time between two events (exit, cloakroom, travel).
- Tickets & admission rules: Especially for readings and theater, it's worth checking the box office, seating plan, and admission time on the day of the event.
- Be mindful of times: This article only lists program points that are still upcoming from now. If you're planning very tightly, orient yourself by start times and allow for lead time.
