Krenmarkt Baiersdorf

About Krenmarkt Baiersdorf

The Baiersdorfer Krenmarkt revolves entirely around horseradish – known as 'Kren' in Franconia. Every year on the third Sunday in September, the city center of the Middle Franconian town of Baiersdorf transforms into a pungent experience market. The 'Kree', as the locals call it, is opened by the First Mayor together with the Horseradish Queen and the symbolic harvest of a horseradish root. Krenfleisch (horseradish meat) with dumplings, Krensüppchen (horseradish soup) and Krenbrot (horseradish bread), natural products, crafts, and a colorful supporting program make the market a feast for connoisseurs in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district.

A Market All About Kren

The Baiersdorfer Krenmarkt is a traditional customs and enjoyment market in Baiersdorf, a town in the Erlangen-Höchstadt district in the state of Bavaria. Baiersdorf is considered the center of Franconian horseradish cultivation – no wonder the Kren has its own festival here.

Pungent Kren dishes are the focus: Krenfleisch with dumplings, Krensüppchen, and Krenbrot invite you to taste. In addition, there are natural products, artisanal and agricultural products, a tourism exchange for the metropolitan region, and information about health and the healing effects of horseradish.

Between market stalls, the mayor's tapping of the horseradish root, and spicy delicacies, a convivial festival emerges that charmingly combines Franconian traditions, regional products, and enjoyment.
