Neckarhausen Castle as a Festival Backdrop
Neckarhausen Castle is one of the most charming small castles in the Rhein-Neckar district — a baroque moated castle that once belonged to the Counts of Erbach and is now publicly accessible. The community festival "Rund ums Schloss" takes place every year on the second weekend of July in the castle courtyard. In 2026, presumably on July 11th and 12th — the official event calendar of the municipality names the "2nd weekend of July" as a fixed date.
Club Life in the Castle Courtyard
The festival is organized by the municipality of Edingen-Neckarhausen together with local clubs. Several sports, music, traditional costume, and cultural clubs from the Edingen and Neckarhausen districts set up stalls, provide food and drinks, and perform on the central festival stage with live music, dance groups, and children's programs. The atmosphere is deliberately village-like and festive — not a large commercial event, but a communal weekend.
Program in and Around the Castle
The castle courtyard is the centerpiece; the surrounding alleys and the castle garden are also used for events. Typically, there are concerts on Saturday evening, a festive church service on Sunday morning in the castle garden or the nearby church, a "Frühschoppen" (morning pint) with brass music, a lunch offered by the clubs, and a family program with games and activities for children in the afternoon. The festival concludes with relaxed music on Sunday evening.
Edingen-Neckarhausen on the Neckar
Edingen-Neckarhausen, with just under 14,000 inhabitants, is located in the Rhein-Neckar district in the state of Baden-Württemberg, directly on the Neckar river between Mannheim and Heidelberg. The municipality consists of the districts of Edingen (facing the Palatinate) and Neckarhausen (with the castle). Palatinate tradition visibly shapes the festival and club life — the "Rund ums Schloss" community festival is one of the most beautiful examples of the district's vibrant festival culture.
