HSNR Picnic Club
from 20.05.2026

With the Picknick Club, we are bringing a weekly, free after-study/after-work format to Mönchengladbach. Every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. in Geropark, local DJs from different genres provide the right sound for the end of the day.

The event is explicitly aimed at everyone. The concept is deliberately low-threshold: bring your own drinks, friends &
(picnic) blanket - no obligation to consume, no entry fee. Just listen to music together and spend the evening in the park.

Please note: Leave no trace - take your rubbish back with you to keep the park clean!

 

When? from 20.05. - 15.07. - every Wednesday 18-22h
Where? Geropark Mönchengladbach (by the water)

Open day at the MG campus
10 June 2026

The Hochschule Niederrhein's Mönchengladbach campus cordially invites you to visit us. Come along and get to know our programmes.
