Kameraden- und Soldatenvereine — a Bavarian Tradition
Kameraden- und Soldatenvereine (KSV) were founded throughout Bavaria in the 19th century after the German unification wars (1864, 1866, 1870/71) — mostly as associations of former soldiers who organized regular meetings, parades on Remembrance Days, and mutual camaraderie. Such an association was also founded in Fünfstetten in 1876, and it still exists today.
150 Years of Club History
Over 150 years of continuous existence mean a club history that has survived two world wars and is deeply rooted in the village social structure of Fünfstetten. Today, Kameraden- und Soldatenvereine focus less on old military culture and more on remembrance of the fallen and camaraderie among former Bundeswehr members and civilian members.
Pentecost Weekend as the Festival Date
The Pentecost weekend from May 22nd to 24th, 2026, is officially registered in the Fünfstetten municipality's event calendar as the festival date. Three days of ceremonies, a parade with traditional costume groups and brass bands from the Donau-Ries district, festival tent catering, and musical entertainment.
