What is Bergfest?
The Bergfest e.V. at the TU Ilmenau organizes the Bergfest week every year. What began as a simple celebration in the middle of the standard period of study is now a complete week packed full of varied events - organized on a voluntary basis by students for all students and staff at TU Ilmenau as well as all Ilmenau citizens.
The Bergfest has a tradition of over 50 years in Ilmenau. Originally, the Bergfest was organized by the respective student body to celebrate the half-time of the study period. Since 2005, however, there has been a specially founded association for this purpose: Bergfest e.V., which organizes and hosts various events throughout the year in addition to the festival week in the summer semester.
In addition to cultural events on cabaret evenings and live band performances, the Bergfest week also includes a soapbox race, a tournament day and the beer athlon, which is known far beyond Ilmenau. However, the highlight of the week for many students is the EhrenbergWiesn, which we want to relaunch on a smaller scale as the ErstiWiesn to give you a foretaste of the Bergfestwoche in summer 2025.
We look forward to an unforgettable time with you!
BERG!
What is the ILSC?
The clubs are a change from everyday student life filled with music, art and drinking culture. Many hundreds of cocktails, beers and whiskies enrich the wide range of music and events.
The Ilmenauer Studentenclub e.V. is the union of the four student clubs and the student café at the Technical University of Ilmenau. These 5 sections are located in the basements of the four blocks C, D, H and I on campus. The roots of this non-profit, socio-cultural association already go back over 50 years and continue to carry the organization and design of large events such as open airs, indoor concerts, festivals as well as the student nightlife.
Through numerous performances, bands and readings, the <bc> has made a name for itself as a live club in Ilmenau. Its cultural spectrum ranges from art exhibitions to neon parties and monthly wine evenings. Just across the street, the BD Club offers fat beats, 90s hits and live techno parties. Local acts and solo artists are on hand here. The BH Club offers many theme nights. In addition to an always-fresh music lineup, they celebrate everything from trendy mojito to the ever-popular iced tea party. The oldest club on campus is the bi. Equipped with a kitchen and extensive whiskey bar, metal, rock and goth are the hot sounds here. During the day, the bc café is the living room on campus. In a cozy atmosphere, you can play board games and tournaments in tabletop football while enjoying a good cup of coffee or a refreshing lemonade.
We offer skill development through various leadership positions as well as a stage for local acts, DJs from around the world, and space for bands & solo artists. Tap beer, mix cocktails, DJ music, and cook delicious menus. Our family continues to grow each semester and you're welcome to become a part of it too. The clubs not only have the right atmosphere for partying, but also offer a cozy ambience for social evenings due to many seating areas and can be rented.
