Vom Hussenkrieg — History as an Open-Air Play
The play Vom Hussenkrieg recounts the dramatic events of the Hussite Wars, which also reached the Oberpfalz region in the 15th century. In the historic castle courtyard of Neunburg vorm Wald, this subject has been staged for decades as a grand amateur play with numerous participants, horses, and elaborate costumes — history you can touch under the open sky.
Five Performance Dates in July 2026
In 2026, the play will be performed on five evenings: Premiere on Saturday, July 4, with further performances on July 10, 18, 24, and 25. Admission is at 7 PM each evening, with the performance starting at 8:30 PM. The Schwarzachtal Local History Museum and a special exhibition on the Hussites will be accessible on the castle grounds from 7 PM onwards.
Neunburg vorm Wald — Town in the Upper Palatinate Forest
Neunburg vorm Wald is located in the district of Schwandorf, in the state of Bavaria, within the Oberpfälzer Wald (Upper Palatinate Forest). The castle complex above the town forms the natural backdrop for the open-air theatre, making the Burgfestspiele a firm cultural highlight of the region.
