Noelia Sarris Gothic Piano & Romantic Fashion Show

Darkly romantic piano sounds from the magical hands of Noelia Sarris meet extravagant fashion creations from Rabenhaupt Design, Rohmy Couture, and Monschik. A feast for the eyes and ears!

Noelia Sarris is a pianist, composer, and singer from Argentina who lives in Berlin. She trained at the José Hernandez Music Academy in Buenos Aires and graduated as a piano professor.
Her music is characterized by a combination of different styles, from post-romantic and impressionistic elements to the intensity of her homeland's famous tango and a strong Gothic influence. She also experiments with various sound effects by combining her organ pedals with the piano and her voice.

The label Rabenhaupt Design Berlin is known for its mystical, almost ethereal dresses with dramatic back cutouts and necklines, combined with flowing silhouettes. Plenty of transparency and metallic or deep matte floral details create a unique look.

"Ropework Couture" best describes the unmistakable style of the German label ROHMY: Intricate handcrafted pieces are created from interwoven ropes, resulting in miniature works of art. Classic and timeless, the designs in the bridal and evening gown collection delight with grace and elegance.

Monschik – hand-sewn dream worlds: The atelier produces magnificent robes, romantic dresses and eccentric creations - from Gothic to Rococo to Burlesque and Gothic.

Market for German Mill Day

From 11:00 am, hourly guided tours (in GERMAN) with exciting insights into the history and technology of the mill; 3:30 pm mill theatre for children.

The romantic Dölitz watermill (Vollhardtstraße 16) is located right next to the Pagan Village. The Dölitz Watermill Association is hosting a small market for German Mill Day, featuring regional vendors and a varied program. Visitors can enjoy Eichsfeld bratwurst, refreshing punch, coffee, and homemade cakes. Proceeds from the market will go towards the upkeep of the historic mill.

The Dölitz watermill is considered the last remaining watermill in Leipzig and is a listed technical landmark. It still retains some of its original milling machinery. The mill in Dölitz was first documented in 1540 and belonged to the estate of the Dölitz manor , which later became a moated castle. During the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, the mill was set on fire during the fighting for the Dölitz gatehouse and burned almost completely to the ground. It was rebuilt in just one year in 1814.

Catering is not included in the WGT ticket and must be paid for separately.
