Volunteer tasks

Please let us know in which preferred area you would like to work. You can also choose several areas. If you don't want to commit to one, just choose "Floater / All-rounder". We will try to accommodate your preferences.

You belong to a special group e.g. school class / association or were otherwise recruited by us. Please let us know here so that we don't mistakenly allocate you in our evaluation.

When can you assist us?

In general, we are looking for volunteers available for at least 8 hours on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. This year, shifts on a festival day are divided into two shifts Day shift and Evening shift to promote leisure opportunities and reduce strain. If you don't mind whether it's day or evening shift, please choose both. We will then select a shift for you based on need.

Day shift runs from 08 - 12 hrs and 16 - 20 hrs
Evening shift runs from 12 - 16 hrs and 20 - 24 hrs

Accommodation

If you're not from the area and require accommodation from us, please let us know. You'll then get, based on availability, a space in our communal team accommodation. We can offer you communal accommodations for about 5 to 10 people per room. Since we can't provide an air mattress for everyone, we recommend bringing your own.

Help us find the right room for you to avoid any embarrassing misunderstandings.
