An inspiring evening dedicated to space travel!

On May 15, we held our fourth side event as part of International Week, the “MFMW - CineNight”. Space enthusiasts gathered at the Filmbühne Mittweida to watch the documentary “Der Mann, der nie im All war” together.

The film tells the fascinating story of Tassilo Römisch, a passionate collector of space exhibits whose collection comprises over 100,000 items. His experiences and dedication to space travel, from rocket launches to the anecdote about the impressive rocket engine in the Mittweida canteen, captivated everyone.

A special highlight of the evening was the visit from Tassilo Römisch himself. He shared his impressions of the film and gave exciting insights into the current state of space travel. In the Q&A session that followed, he enthusiastically answered every question from the participants.

Many thanks to everyone who made this evening so special. We look forward to many more inspiring events!
