The dreamship lies still at anchor on Lake Helenesee. The last Schweißperlen are drying, enchanted creatures crawl back into their Schlupflöcher and vanish into the Unterholz. Here and there, a sleepy head lifts, and the first tender smiles dance across the faces of an exhausted but happy crew. Soon the ship will rise again and drift into the clouds until next year.
Ahoy dear dream sailors!
What a crazy weekend we’ve just had! We laughed from the heart, debated with deep passion, danced until exhaustion, and philosophized into the early hours. We met under the blazing sun and sparkling stars, strangers became friends, and old friendships shone in a new light. And before we cast off here, there’s one thing we absolutely want to say:
Thank you, thank you so much for this wild ride!

What we experienced these days at Lake Helenesee went beyond music and dance. We are grateful that together we managed to open a space where everyone could feel welcome – whether carrying a heavy heart or moving with light feet!
We felt it during the crazy 600-person massage-conga in the Schweißperle, when the Sektamt handed out bubbling happiness to those in need, when we all flew into space together, and in all those small, unique encounters on and between the dancefloors. None of this would have been possible without you – each and every one of you who brought our vision to life.

We want to thank everyone who has supported us for many years and express our excitement for all the brave new sailors who dared to jump aboard for the very first time in 2025. Without your energy and creativity – but also the respectful cooperation of everyone involved, whether guests, crews, artists, staff, or partners – the Bucht der Träumer* would not be what it is.

A huge thank you also goes out to the team at Lake Helenesee, the authorities of Frankfurt, and the local residents for their patience and trust. A festival of this size always requires careful balancing of many interests, as well as understanding and tolerance.
We’re still busy sorting, tidying up, and recapping. But soon we’ll get back to you as soon as the big photo recap of Bucht der Träumer* 2025 is ready to go, and of course with the first eagerly awaited info for 2026!
Until then: Keep on Dreamin'!
Yours Bucht der Träumer* Team
