Werner Herzog's Nosferatu shines over Sachrang and unfolds summer night magic

Name: Nosferatu in Sachrang – Werner Herzog Open Air Cinema 2026
Start: 2026-06-20T20:30:00+02:00
End: 2026-06-21T01:30:00+02:00
Location: Kaiserblick Stubn

A summer evening between mountain village, film history, and goosebumps

“Nosferatu in Sachrang” transforms the mountain climbing village in Chiemgau on June 20, 2026, into an atmospheric open-air cinema. The evening combines conversation culture, regional memory, and Werner Herzog's dark cinematic art into a special stage experience under the open sky.

A program that envisions cinema as a cultural event

Starting at 6 PM, refreshments will be provided by Kaiserblickstub’n. At 7:30 PM, a discussion round with guests from the film and cultural scene will kick off the evening before Werner Herzog's Nosferatu – Phantom of the Night appears on screen at 9:30 PM. The 1979 film is one of Herzog's first major film productions and delves deep into his unique visual language, where melancholy, threat, and romantic elevation closely intertwine.

Herzog's perspective on Dracula: beautiful, eerie, timeless

Herzog not only engages with the Dracula myth, but transforms it into a quiet, alpine horror piece. Jonathan Harker, Lucy, and Dracula move through a world where illness, seduction, and decay intertwine. This mixture is what makes the work so compelling to this day: the audience does not experience a mere retelling, but a poetic condensation of fear and fascination. In the open-air atmosphere of Sachrang, this visual language gains even more power.

Sachrang as a place of memory

The mountain climbing village is not just any event location for Werner Herzog; it is part of his biography. He spent his childhood and early youth here. The open-air cinema honors this connection with a consciously cultural setting: conversation, film, and landscape interweave. Those who attend will not only experience a screening but a precisely curated tribute to one of the great auteur-directors of European cinema.

Practical information for the evening

The event is free of charge. According to the organizer, refreshments will start at 6 PM. For cooler evenings, warm clothing, a blanket, and a personal seating option are recommended. In good weather, the cinema will take place at the Kaiserblick ski lift; in bad weather, it will be held in the Priental Hall. The exact location will be announced in advance. A timely look at local information is worthwhile for parking search, arrival, and orientation.

Conclusion: Those who want to not only see great cinema but experience it as a cultural place will find an evening with atmosphere, conversation, and cinematic impact in Sachrang. This open-air cinema invites you to experience Werner Herzog's work in a landscape that is remarkably close to his biography and visual world.
