Inside

An evening full of knowledge, nature, and quiet aerial acrobatics in Bielefeld-Brackwede

At Focus Source: The Queens of the Night Are Not Vampires, a fascinating nature topic takes center stage on August 31, 2026: bats. Martina Brand, bat ambassador of BUND, provides exciting insights into her work at the community center of the Johannes Church community and shows why the silent hunters deserve much more attention.

When twilight begins, fascination awakens

The lecture takes you deep into the world of bats - precise, vivid, and close to practice. Brand explains how the animals live, which species occur in Germany, and why bats are so important for ecological balance. Particularly impressive: Two live specimens accompany the evening, making the event experience immediate and tangible.

On prejudices, care, and species protection

The focus is not only on wonder but also on the conveyance of knowledge. The speaker shows how myths about bats can be dispelled, how to properly care for weakened or flightless animals, and the role of bat boxes as aids in species protection. Additionally, there are concrete insights into maternity roosts, winter quarters, and populations in Source - a program with real added value for nature enthusiasts, families, and anyone who appreciates environmental education.

Lecture with local relevance and strong practical reference

The Focus Source series thrives on regional anchoring and clear target group communication. This shapes the evening: close to Brackwede, close to the people, close to a topic that is often underestimated in public perception. The free event creates space for exchange, questions, and a lively audience experience in a calm, concentrated atmosphere.

Conclusion: Those who love nature, biodiversity, and vivid knowledge transfer will experience an informative and simultaneously impressive evening here. A visit is worthwhile for all who wish to rediscover bats - live, directly, and with strong insights from first-hand.
