University Ball

Review: The 2026 University Ball was so beautiful!

On June 5, 2026, the OsnabrückHalle was once again transformed into a glamorous ballroom!

In addition to top-notch live music by 7Beats (Europa Hall) and STILLaLIVE (Congress Hall), plus sets by three DJs, this year’s University Ball once again offered a diverse range of entertainment and a large dance floor for couples. Guests enjoyed rousing show acts by Contemporary & Hip Hop (University Sports) and Big Bombastic (Hull Dance School), as well as a cocktail lounge, a food lounge, and a spacious outdoor terrace.

The popular “Kleine Freiheit” also returned to the rooftop, once again inviting guests to dance the night away. The Silent Lounge provided the perfect spot for good conversation and a little downtime.

Svenja-Marie Streuter and Michael Hull provided entertaining commentary as professional hosts throughout the evening, and as in previous years, plenty of little surprises and extras were in store.

An evening of exceptional class!

Welcome!
