A night for those who want to not only see nature but understand it
On June 19, 2026, scientific precision meets a topic that has always been between fascination and conflict: the return of the Eurasian lynx to Germany, at the Neustädter Marienkirche. Speaker Michael Schulte from the Biological Station Kreis Paderborn-Senne e. V. presents the biology, historical extinction, and the current return of this elusive cat species. The lecture starts at 18:00, admission is free, and no registration is required. In advance, the exhibition 'Expedition Schneeleo' can be visited for free at the namu from 17:00 to 18:00.

Between Myth, Forest, and Research
The lynx is more than a symbol of wilderness. It represents ecological return, conservation efforts, and the question of how a densely populated country coexists with large predators. The lecture illuminates the evolution from extinction around 1850 to the current populations in a few German regions and connects natural history with a cultural historical perspective.

A special place for a sensitive topic
The Neustädter Marienkirche is one of Bielefeld's prominent landmarks and also a place of church music and encounters. With its open, tranquil atmosphere, it offers the appropriate setting for an evening that evokes both contemplation and wonder. The church is open daily from 10:00 to 18:00 and is located at Papenmarkt 10a in 33602 Bielefeld. ([bielefeld.jetzt](https://www.bielefeld.jetzt/neustaedter-marienkirche))
What visitors can expect in the evening
No dry obligatory lesson is expected, but a lively author encounter with a clear professional line, illustrative insights into the species conservation debate, and space for in-depth natural education. The combination of lecture, free exhibition, and church space gives the event a special reading atmosphere in the broader sense: calm, focused, inspiring.

Conclusion: Those interested in nature, species conservation, and the return of large wild animals will experience an informative evening with social relevance here. The lecture invites you to discover the lynx not as a headline but as a key species in an exciting ecological debate. This free cultural and knowledge format deserves an in-person visit.
