University sports on the theater stage

The university sports groups presented their impressive talents at the university sports show. This was the second time the show had taken place at Theater Aachen. “The University Sports Show is an exceptional event for Theater Aachen in a positive sense,” says General Director Elena Tzavara. The show involves up to twice as many participants on and behind the stage as in normal operations.

Every year, the university sports show demonstrates anew how diverse and important sport is for Aachen's universities. Students from Aachen's universities performed together on stage. Prof. Martina Klocke, Vice-Rector for Diversity and Equal Opportunities at FH Aachen, is particularly interested in the diversity of university sports, which was on display on stage at the show. Sport brings together a wide variety of groups, which promotes exchange and creates space for students from all universities.

Creative choreographies and performances

The sports groups presented creative choreographies and performances. From funny numbers, such as the acrobatics ensemble under the motto “Summer, sun, shark alarm”, to dramatic performances, such as the jazz group to Taylor Swift's “Don't Blame Me”, everything was included. The big band “Full House” from FH Aachen provided the musical backdrop.

Honoring successful athletes

Another part of the show was honoring the successful athletes who achieved outstanding performances in competitions in the past year. In 2024, 77 Aachen University athletes achieved placings in national and international competitions in ten different sports and were honored. Ullrich Weber, Head of the University Sports Center, is delighted to see how motivated students from Aachen are to achieve top sporting performances all over the world.

Volunteering at the HSZ

University Sports Aachen is supported by numerous volunteers who make events such as the University Sports Show possible. Juliana Kirchhof from the Aachen University Sports Department praises this commitment. The volunteers show their passion for sport through their work. According to Juliana Kirchhof, this year's honorary award winner Talida has shown an extremely high level of commitment to gymnastics in university sports.
