From «Heigesdorf» to Exdorf
In the year 951, a Franconian nobleman named Fricco gifted his possessions in «Heigesdorf» – today Exdorf – to the Reichsabtei Fulda. This deed of gift marks the beginning of the village's documented history. In 2026, the village will celebrate its 1075th anniversary with a multi-week festival week under the motto «Shaping, Celebrating, and Preserving History Together».
Two Weeks of Festival Program
The event begins on June 12th, 2026, with a festive beer tapping. In the following days, events will be spread across the Exdorf Church (festive services, concerts), the Festival Tent (dancing, live music, cabaret), the Exdorf Cultural Center (lectures, exhibitions), and Rentwertshausen Castle (special events).
Exdorf – District of the Grabfeld Municipality
Exdorf is a district of the unified municipality of Grabfeld in the Schmalkalden-Meiningen district in Southern Thuringia. The «Grabfeld» region – not to be confused with Bavarian Rhön-Grabfeld – is a cross-border historical landscape between Thuringia, Bavaria, and Hesse with a long Franconian history.

This unique grand event brings together clubs, churches, cultural institutions, and the Exdorf Festival Committee. Over two festival weeks, concerts, church services, lectures, theater performances, and festive evenings will be held – a format that combines the historical depth of the village with modern festival culture.
