We're bringing the mouse to Zittau!

Vote for the HSZG now and bring the show with the mouse to the LaNDER³ hall.

How does the mouse get to the HSZG?

The LaNDER³ team is excited: The Mouse, one of the most famous and successful children's programs on German television, wants to look into the future with factual stories. What crazy ideas, interesting plans and exciting projects are there to shape the world of tomorrow? The mouse is looking for vivid examples and filming locations. And this is where the HSZG comes in! The large-scale project Lusatian Natural Fibre Composites, Decentralized Energy, Raw Materials, Resources, Recycling (LaNDER3) is in the running for a filming location. A vote will now decide whether the mouse will actually come to Zittau.

"We at LaNDER³ are always happy when we can share our knowledge with society. Die Sendung mit der Maus is a format that inspires enthusiasm for research and knowledge and arouses curiosity. It would fill us with pride to be part of the format and to be able to report on our research into future topics. And with a bit of luck and support, this could soon come true."  Professor Jens Weber, LaNDER³ partnership spokesperson

A total of eight short clips are in the running

Voting is now open until August 31, 2021 on the website of the children's channel (KiKA). Eight short video clips will present various projects that deal with forward-looking ideas. The three projects with the most votes will be selected and will be visited by a reportage and camera team from WDR. On October 3, the child-friendly factual stories about the most popular projects will be broadcast on KiKA on the occasion of Mouse Door Opener Day.

Now it's your turn: let's vote the HSZG and LaNDER3 into the show with the mouse!

What is the show with the mouse?

Die Sendung mit der Maus is one of the most successful children's programs on German television. For 50 years, generations of children have been introduced to the world with so-called laughing and factual stories .

Open doors with the mouse - Register now!

One thing is already certain: the HSZG is taking part in the "Doors open with the mouse" campaign day. On October 3, 2021, you can play mouse at the HSZG. Under the motto "Hello future", the HSZG and many other institutions will be opening their doors to children thirsty for knowledge. 

What: We show how living and producing with what nature provides can be possible in the future. Together we look at various plants under the microscope and produce natural fiber plastics together. We will also gain exciting insights into the topics of energy and the circular economy.
