Muttertag im Landtag: Parlament am Sonntag geöffnet

In the organizer's words:

Next Sunday, May 11, 2025, the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia will be open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Visitors can discover the parliament on the banks of the Rhine without prior registration and experience democracy first-hand. There will be guided tours by the visitor service and discovery tours via smartphone. Works of art from a master class by Dresden artist Christian Macketanz are also on display. The visit is free of charge, admission with ID.

"The heart of democracy in North Rhine-Westphalia beats in the state parliament," says André Kuper, President of the state parliament. "Visitors can gain an insight into the work of the members of parliament and experience the open architecture of the parliament building. You can experience democracy here. Parliament is not only a place where citizens can make political decisions, but also a house full of history and art."

A guided tour of the Landtag lasts 45 minutes. If you would like to take the individual tour, you should bring your smartphone. There are exciting insights into parliamentary work, the plenary chamber, the parliamentary group rooms and the political decision-making processes. A film on a 240-degree panoramic screen allows visitors to immerse themselves in the work of the members of parliament and the parliamentary board. The Macketanz exhibition includes paintings, graphics, videos and animations. It will be on display in Parliament until May 15, 2025.
