In October 2020, Ludger Beerbaum’s equestrian sports centre, RIESENBECK INTERNATIONAL in Riesenbeck received the surprising news: Almost one year later, at the beginning of September 2021, the European Show Jumping Championships will take place at the Surenburg.

A lot has happened since then. The RIESENBECK INTERNATIONAL team has developed the equestrian centre into a top-class event venue in a very short time.

L&S was responsible for the provision and operation of the event technology, for temporary structures as well as the event management support.

The reception in the castle garden of the Surenburg was also a highlight in many respects.

Last Sunday, on the last day of the tournament, it was clear that André Thieme was the new Jumping European Champion 2021.

On August 21 and 22, 2021, the first open air of the meetMUSIC concert series took place in the garden of Draiflessen in Mettingen. In a stylish ambience, the great musical diversity of classical chamber music was combined with jazz and pop. The two presenters Marie König and Malte Arkona led through the program. The guitarist Viktor Stryapin, Liv Hansen on her harp, the Svevia Trombone Quartet, the Vision String Quartet, the band HeptaPolka, the duo Peter Fleckenstein and Žilvinas Brazauskas as well as the duo Anouchka & Katharina Hack, who took over the artistic direction for the open air festival meetMUSIC, presented themselves on stage.

L&S provided the sound and lighting equipment for the open air, in addition to the stage including the associated prints. The area was transformed into a stylish ambience by our light installation. 

Our sound and lighting technicians took care of the musicians on site on both concert days.

On August 1, 2021, our new trainees Julius Asemann and Lasse Dierkes started their training as event technology specialists. Welcome to our team!

The grey clouds over the L&S QuickStage100 stage are symbolic: already the second summer season no or very few orders for our large stage construction. This L&S department is still firmly caught in the COVID-19 headlock. And even worse: the second apprentice year in a row is just coming into the company, which probably won’t have a chance to build stages and get a taste of festival air this year either because of the Corona restrictions.  

So a PLAN B was needed:

Our trainees for event technology from 2020 – Lukas and Patrick and also our trainees Julius and Lasse, who are just starting this year, together with the third year of training – Mathis, Jannis and Anton are currently putting on a small but nice trainee festival at our company headquarters. The two apprentices from our colleagues at P2 Veranstaltungstechnik in Greven, Vinzent and Marcel, are lending a hand. And our trainer Andreas Werthmöller is technically behind the guys for a helping hand – of which, however, not much is needed. All this, of course, with a distance & hygiene concept.

Motto: Learning still works best by doing.

Last weekend, the seven plus two trainees showed how Festival works. Admittedly on a small scale, but with everything that goes with it: stage, PA, lighting, LED screens, backstage, etc..

With a solid hygiene & distance concept as well as the 3G’s (recovered-vaccinated-tested), they went live in front of a small audience on Friday in accordance with the rules.

‘MR. HURLEY & DIE PULVERAFFEN’ were guests with their current album SEEMANNSGRAB. As a hybrid event, the gig was streamed. However, a handful of Pirate fans had the opportunity to win a live ticket from their online ticket and take a seat in front of the stage. https://seemannsgrab.pulveraffen.de/

On Saturday the L&S GARTEN PARTY followed with ‘JONAS EGBERS’, ‘SAD CAPTAIN’, ‘ACOUSTIC STEEL’ and ‘FRANTIC AGE’ as headliners. Finest regional line-up, also arranged and booked by our apprentices. A big THANK YOU to the artists who rocked our little festival and unfortunately only for a tip. You too have been hit by the crisis and we more than appreciate your efforts!

Completely created from A-Z from the planning of our trainees and implemented by them, the festival was more than round. 

Chapeau guys! Keep it up!

Our customer Windmöller & Hölscher KG streamed the Virtual Expo 2021 with the motto “SAY HI TO THE FUTURE” at our Lerchengrund Studios. 

These were from the Extrusion, Printing and Converting divisions:

4 live shows
on 2 days
streamed in parallel from 3 studios
with a total of 48 tech sessions

Timed for global availability, targeted at the company’s customers and integrated into a user-friendly event web platform with a wide range of functions and information, the virtual show was a great success.

L&S took over the technical management of the project.

Thank you W&H for your trust!

During the 3rd Ecumenical Church Congress, we supplied graphic walls, decoration and backdrop components for a television service in a multi-storey car park in front of the impressive Frankfurt skyline. The ecumenical church congress took place digitally and decentrally in Frankfurt from 13 – 16 May 2021.

We supplied the Omnivision wall construction system for banners without joints as neutral backgrounds from our rental park. This was supplemented with printed motifs and as free-standing columns with digital printing. The cross was manufactured in our workshops. We also supplied platforms and furniture.

Logistically, the assembly and dismantling was a minor challenge, as the top parking deck was only accessible with small vans.

L&S is expanding in the area of video technology!

We are investing in two remote-controllable 4K cameras of the Panasonic AW-UE150 brand. The so-called PTZ cameras can be controlled and moved via a control panel. The professional cameras deliver a high-quality 4k image.

The cameras are currently in use in our Lerchengrund studios.

NEW in the rental pool: Black Magic Design ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K

We are expanding our capacities in streaming and online events and investing in a new video mixer.

The video mixer “Black Magic Design ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K” will primarily be used in our Lerchengrund Studio.

Key – Facts:
– 20 video inputs for cameras, notebooks and other players
– 16 outputs for various preview options, streams and live images
– Extensive transitions and further effect possibilities
– Optimal for live switching with external speakers
– Separate control panel for optimised workflow

With the investment in the new video mixing console, we are further increasing our streaming and live video capabilities. Also for “real” events after the pandemic.

We are pleased! Yesterday evening, the Marketing Club Münster-Osnabrück presented the L&S team with the ‘Concepts for Change Award 2021’.

As an alternative to the club’s previous annual marketing award, this year’s alternative award was offered to companies and organisations that have had to significantly adapt their business model and marketing concept during the Corona crisis, which has now lasted 12 months, and have done so successfully.

The jury was convinced that L&S had developed and successfully followed creative and innovative ways in a short period of time to create new communication and marketing opportunities for the company’s event and trade fair clients despite the Corona restrictions. These are the L&S Lerchengrund Studios in Riesenbeck for professional online communication. Exemplary also a roadshow through Germany in June 2020 as a ‘tractor cinema’. Or also numerous streaming studios that L&S has set up in customers’ halls.

The L&S team would like to thank the Marketing Club Münster-Osnabrück for this award for our work over the past few months. It means a lot to us. Thank you!

The DBU celebrated its anniversary on 1 March 2021 with a digital ceremony via live stream from the Lerchengrund Studio of L&S. Guests included Frans Timmermans, Vice-President of the EU Commission and EU Commissioner for Climate Action, German Chancellor Dr Angela Merkel and German Environment Minister Svenja Schulze.

Since it began its funding activities 30 years ago, the DBU has supported more than 10,200 projects to protect the environment with around 1.9 billion euros. They focus on innovative projects and transferability to other organisations. #DBU30 – Sustainable into the future!

L&S has accompanied the DBU at numerous events since 2009.

We are pleased to have another client in the Lerchengrund Studio. LBS West, based in Münster, uses our studio for various info formats.

Volksbank Münsterland Nord has already used our Lerchengrund Studio several times for various streamings on different topics.

We have even organised catering in line with Corona standards and made it available to the guests in the studio.

L&S now has two Panasonic AG-UX180 4K camcorders in its rental pool.

Also new in the rental pool are two Video Assist 7″ 12G HDR from Blackmagic Video Design. The small monitors are used for control and recording.

Our Lerchengrund Studio is not only suitable for streaming and live productions, but also as an environment for the production of product videos.

The truss specialist H.O.F. uses the Lerchengrund Studio for three days with different looks and backgrounds for the various product groups.
