We like to come up with something new for our events. We would like to introduce you to our modular walls, which we created and designed as part of a trade fair for our customer - sustainable and high-quality. You can see what we made of it here.

The entire system has a modular structure, is sustainably made from high-quality wood and can be flexibly customised to your individual requirements in a very stylish way.

Coordinated with furniture, decoration and screens, an individual atmosphere can be created in no time at all. Can be perfectly combined OTR-style with our range of e.g. Fatboy & Flux folding furniture. Whether you need an exhibition stand, stage backdrops, market stalls or stylish booths for workshops, get in touch. We have everything here.

Park festival coming soon! From 30 August to 1 September, the Waltrop city park will be transformed into a place of art, culture and culinary delights for the 47th time. A weekend full of fun, games and entertainment for the whole family. Of course, as always, there will be a special ON THE ROCK stage. We look forward to seeing you!

Once again this year, the Waltrop Park Festival offers a programme that will make Waltrop the cultural centre of the Ostvest for three days.

One of our top acts will be the German DJ and producer David Puentez on our stage! Known for his energetic tracks and catchy melodies, David Puentez has earned himself a firm place in the EDM scene with hits such as ‘Superstar’, ‘Lonely Days’ and ‘Baby Steps’. His success is characterised by rousing performances at renowned festivals and exciting collaborations with well-known artists. Get ready for an unforgettable show!

In addition to our top act David Puentez, we have many other outstanding DJs in the programme for you. We are also pleased to present JC-Zeller, PAJANE, CHILD, Kindermann, DJ Jonathan, Max Reimann, DJANE Elle, ALYF, Xandra, MiЯ and Alle&Jeder. 

With these talented artists, you can expect an unforgettable line-up on our stage, which will ensure the best atmosphere and unforgettable moments!

On the main stage you will find Culcha Candela, Guildo Horn & die Orthopädischen Strümpfe, Seven Cent, Manfred Mann's Earth Band, Mambo Kurt, Kombiticket, Skyline Green and many more artists.

Together with the Sonswastheater from Melle, a varied cabaret programme for young and old is once again planned.

30 is a magic number...

1991 Winni Petersmann founds ON THE ROCK. With his playful passion to get people in interaction, he transforms his company from a cultural one-man-show to a global player for physical and digital live-communication with more than 30 employees*.

From the first industry events as a technology service provider for clients like McKinsey in the 2000s, ON THE ROCK becomes an agency for Below The Line marketing measures, such as the Camel Circle and the Camel "World of Pleasure". This was followed by numerous events for Deutsche Telekom ranging from the T-Com Haus Clubtour to Germany-wide change conferences and large international meetings and events.

The ability to sense which song, measure or address is the right one at any given moment is still the formula that distinguishes ON THE ROCK to this day - not least thanks to a network of creative professionals from a wide variety of fields, coupled with 100% execution quality even on unfamiliar terrain. This has proven itself again 20 years later in the pandemic, with ON THE ROCK developing digital and virtual live-communication as a new business field.

At the same time, in the spirit of sustainability, ON THE ROCK has successfully established the Dreherei Zeche Waltrop as a great new venue and studio in the countryside with clients such as E.On, Ista, DKV, rku.It and Select AG.

"I never imagined that the "operation of a mobile discotheque", as it says in the trade license, would become such a company. We are looking forward to the next 30 years!" Winni Petersmann, CEO - ON THE ROCK

In cooperation with rooom AG, the ON THE ROCK Group developed the virtual community "Republic of Innovators" and implemented it together with E.ON Group Innovation GmbH.

Energy company E.ON brings together global leaders from the energy sector there to promote the design of a sustainable, digital energy world through partnerships, innovations and the exchange of knowledge and ideas. In the form of a virtual floating island, Republic of Innovators presents members a variety of offers with exclusive access to exciting live online events, webinars and hot energy topics, enriched with networking functions and multimedia games.

In line with the sustainable ON THE ROCK philosophy, a creative contribution is made to the digital transformation and energy transition. This is why the virtual E.ON island is CO2-neutral. The carbon footprint of the community forum is 100% compensated.

Free of charge, entrepreneurs and top managers from various industries as well as universities and institutions from all over the world can come together and get involved virtually in the "Republic of Innovators". Every member of the community becomes an "Innovation Citizen" in order to enter into dialog with E.ON and other change-makers, exchange opinions, learn about technologies and jointly drive forward the energy transition.

As a company, we are pleased to be part of the Smart Region Emscher-Lippe, as the transformation process from physical to digital or hybrid events has been a big part of ON THE ROCK's work not just since the pandemic. 

We completely transform physical events into digital formats or implement them as hybrid events. In this way, we increase reach, reduce travel and transportation expenses and bring people into interaction that hadn´t never met otherwise. In Waltrop, we provide a studio where we can produce everything from simple livestreams to virtual stages or TV shows live. At the same time, we deliver virtual event platforms that are precisely adapted and selected to meet the respective requirements. The spectrum here ranges from simple tools that can be set up quickly to immersive 3D worlds with avatars in which the events take place. We enable live communication, physical, hybrid and virtual. Everything from one source, interactive and always new.
