By popular request, we would like to prepare the program for the winter semester 2025/26 at a location outside the ESG. We will be spending two nights at the
Oberwesel youth hostel high above the Middle Rhine. In addition to working together, there will definitely be time for a hike together on the spectacular Rhine Castle Trail in the Middle Rhine
Valley.
Where: Oberwesel Youth Hostel - 4-bed room with shower/WC
Cost: €15 for 2 nights and 6 meals
Registration at info@esg-bonn.de with name, address and cell phone number
Taizé service
Sunday, June 15, 6:00 pm
Next Sunday, we cordially invite you to another service in our hall. This will again be a Taizé service, which means that there will again be the well-known songs from Taizé, as well as plenty of time for prayer and silence. This will be followed by dinner in the foyer. A warm invitation to all!
Devotion in the Botanical Garden
Tuesday, June 17, 7:00 am
Our series of morning devotions will take place again this June. We will meet in front of the main entrance of the DBH and walk the short distance over to the Botanical Garden together. There we will hold a short meditative prayer and those who wish can join us afterwards for the Tuesday breakfast. If the weather is bad, we will go to the Andachtsraum in the DBH.
Tuesday Breakfast
Tuesday, June 17, 7:30 - 9:00 am
The Tuesday breakfast takes place every Tuesday in the foyer. Fruit, muesli, bread and spreads of all kinds are available for a donation of €2. The best company is free. Come and have a look!
Karaoke in the bar
Tuesday, June 17, 7:30 - 10 pm
Our bar is not only good for dancing and clinking glasses, but also for singing! That's why this semester, for the first time, we're hosting a regular karaoke series on Tuesdays! So please come along, whether to sing, listen or toast! We look forward to seeing you!
Improvisational theater workshop
Wednesday, June 18, 8:00 pm
Would you like to slip into a different role? Take on a position that you would never take on otherwise? Then our workshop is the right place for you! We will
slowly and beginner-friendly approach new, sometimes funny, sometimes sad, sometimes angry, sometimes serious roles and want to play a small sketch together with you at the end of the evening.
The workshop will take place in a safe space and we will make sure that nobody feels uncomfortable. So if you don't want to take part (anymore) at any point, that's perfectly okay!
We are looking forward to seeing you there and to have an exciting and entertaining evening!
Queer Service in the Schlosskirche
Sunday, June 22, 18:00 pm
Queer people have always been part of the church - visibly or invisibly. The fact that the church can also be a safe space for queer people can be seen again on Sunday in the Schlosskirche, when a queer service will be celebrated there. If you are queer yourself, or if you simply want to know what a queer church service can look like, please drop by the Schlosskirche on Sunday. The service is intended to be a safe space so that everyone can feel comfortable. Come along, we look forward to representing the ESG there!
Tango Salón Argentino
Thursday, June 26, 7:00 - 9:30 pm
Mit dem Tango Salón Argentino starten wir ein neues Programm an der ESG in Bonn. Es richtet sich an Studierende, unabhängig von ihrem Niveau. Hier kann man
traditionellen Tango lernen, üben, sich austauschen und gemeinsam Zeit verbringen.
Tango ist viel mehr als nur ein Tanz. Für uns ist der Tango eine Form der Kommunikation, eine Sprache, eine Kunstform.
Wir freuen uns auf Euch! - Marina und Hadi
Our program for the summer semester 2025
That was the winter semester here at ESG:
Podcast with ESG pastor Michael Pues
The podcast "Bildungsfenster", part of the Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University Library, interviewed our ESG pastor Michael Pues about his work as a pastor for students. You can find the episode on Spotify - feel free to listen in!

Counselling international students
in the ESG Bonn
Counseling for international students addresses - not only, but especially - students from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and European "developing countries" who do not receive scholarships or BAFÖG in Germany. We advise you on questions of immigration law, study organization and problems with everyday life in a country that is foreign to you. We can also provide help in financial emergencies, especially when important exams are coming up.
