Because they had the right nose on the secret poster head, five visitors got a very special seat, which not only had advantages.

Chemnitz.
The cosmonauts want to go high. In this regard, Björn Dietrich and his four friends were true cosmonauts at the Rabenstein Reservoir Festival – except that they did not take off with a rocket, but climbed two vertical ladders. The five from Trier were able to follow the festival on Saturday in a VIP lounge. It was located on the upper floor of Technic Tower, a 10-meter high scaffolding located 50 meters from the stage and darkened by tarpaulins on three sides.

The square with the spectacular view of the main stage received the five because they had the right nose. As in previous years, there was still a prediction game for the secret poster head, which took place on Friday night. From almost 70 suggestions, fans should choose their favorite. Most of them typed "The doctors". Then the surprise: not one, but six musicians appeared: RIN, Baussa, Haiyti, Cro, Casper and Marteria. That's why all those 12,000 Tippers who chose one of the six artists entered the raffle for the VIP place. From where the winner was shot.

His name was Björn Dietrich. The 19-year-old athlete from Bernkastel-Kues (Rhineland-Palatinate) is a power club fan. Last year, he visited the cosmonaut festival with a friend for the first time. "It was great and this time, I brought three more friends," said the roofer. Dietrich had tapped the secret poster head on Casper, but was also very pleased with the mix of the six artists, including fireworks: "This was the highlight for me."

The climax in the literal sense followed on Saturday. After the brief night in the tent, Dietrich received the news in the morning that he had won the prediction game. In fact, he should have taken only three friends. However, they did not want to tear the group apart and let everyone go, says festival director Jonas Seetge

Around 3 pm, the winners went to their lodge, which they only had to leave when the bladder got squeezed or their stomach growled. On the third floor of the tower, a cozy corner had been prepared for two lighthouses: a carpet, a red couch and two blue chairs inviting to observing festivals, soft drinks and a refrigerator with cans of beer for refresh. "We are schnapps drinkers," said Dietrich and smiled. They had to drink – to protect themselves. Thanks to the exposed site, the five were exposed to the blazing sun. When Trettmann warmed up on the main stage in the late afternoon, the owners of the boxes sweated at least as much as the dancers eight meters below. "Without the sun, it would be even better," commented Hannah Schabbach. The sun moved behind the trees a little later and the group enjoyed the festival on Saturday with the performance of Kraftklub. "It was really cool," Dietrich said. He had already experienced a power club concert on the pitch. "This time we saw a lot better."
