Celebrating Musical History: Halle (Saale) Bakers' Men's Choir and DBSB Anniversaries

This September, the city of Halle (Saale) is set to host a special event, honouring the anniversaries of two esteemed choirs – the Halle (Saale) Bakers' Men's Choir and the Deutsche Bäcker Sängerverband (DBSB).

The festivities kick off on Saturday, with a city tour aboard an oldtimer streetcar. The main event, however, takes place at 6:00 PM in the Briccius Church in Trotha, where a festival concert will be held.

The Halle (Saale) Bakers' Men's Choir, founded in 1885, is celebrating its 140th anniversary. This choir, rooted in the city's rich history, has been a staple of local culture for over a century.

The DBSB, founded in 1925 in Nuremberg, is also celebrating its 100th anniversary. Despite the specific founders not being mentioned in available sources, the DBSB has made a significant impact on the world of German bakers' singing.

The event is taking place in conjunction with the DBSB Federal Board Meeting, which is being held in Halle (Saale) this weekend. The annual general meeting of the association will be opened by Dr. Judith Marquardt on Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 9:00 AM at the Hotel Atlas.

Both choirs' jubilees will be honoured over the weekend, marking a celebration of musical history and tradition. This is a unique opportunity for music lovers and history enthusiasts alike to witness the combined power of these two esteemed choirs.

So, if you're in the area, don't miss out on this special event. Join us in Halle (Saale) as we celebrate the anniversaries of the Halle (Saale) Bakers' Men's Choir and the DBSB. It's going to be a weekend filled with music, history, and camaraderie.
