40 years of ADFC Aalen: An anniversary week full of cycling culture, encounters, and movement
The ADFC Aalen Anniversary Week from September 27 to October 4, 2026, puts the bicycle at the center in all its facets. At the KulturBahnhof Aalen, lectures, tours, films, workshops, and discussions come together – an event experience that combines expertise, volunteer work, and audience atmosphere. The occasion is the 40th anniversary of the local chapter Aalen/Ellwangen, which, according to ADFC Ostalb, is celebrating with a diverse program and numerous cooperation partners.

An anniversary with conviction
The ADFC is one of the best-known advocacy groups for cyclists in Germany. Since its founding in 1979, the association has been committed to transport transformation, consumer protection, and better conditions for everyday and recreational cyclists. For the Aalen region, a long local history adds to this: The local chapter was established 40 years ago by dedicated people from the area and continues to shape cycling culture to this day.

The KulturBahnhof as a strong framework
The KUBAA provides the fitting framework for the anniversary week: centrally located, easily accessible, and known as a cultural venue with a unique character. The grounds combine theater, cinema, and music school into a vibrant ensemble. Those arriving by train or bus can reach the KulturBahnhof from the main train station in just a few minutes; parking options are also available around the location.

A program with diversity instead of monotony
The preliminary report from ADFC Ostalb announces tours of the bicycle workshop, insights into Aalen's 200-year bicycle history, slide presentations, films, a demonstration for safe school routes, a panel discussion, bicycle coding, and a workshop for getting started in cycle touring. Additionally, there will be the city championship in skill riding. This mix is what makes it appealing: The event combines information, participation, and local identity.
