Summer in the Village — Three Days in Schraden
Schraden is a small village in the Amt Plessa, Elbe-Elster district, with fewer than 1,000 inhabitants. This is precisely what makes the annual Dorf- und Sportfest (village and sports festival) so special: everyone knows everyone here, and the whole village celebrates together. For three days, the sports field and village center are transformed into a festival mile with a marquee, stages, games, and club stands. The 2026 festival will take place on the last weekend of June — Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 26–28.
Sport at the Center
The name Dorf- und Sportfest says it all: the organizer is the Dorf- und Sportverein (DSV) Schraden e.V., which traditionally combines sport and conviviality. The sports program includes:
- Football tournament with teams from neighboring communities
- Fun run through the village
- Children's sports games and skill competitions
- Sports show on Saturday afternoon
- Competitions for the region's fire brigades
Festival Tent and Stage Program
Parallel to the sports events, the social program takes place in the festival tent:
- Friday evening: Opening with live band and dancing
- Saturday evening: Stage program with show acts and disco
- Sunday: Morning pint with brass music
- Sunday afternoon: Family and club program
- Snack stands with bratwurst, draft beer, coffee, and cake
Schraden and the Amt Plessa
Schraden belongs to the Amt Plessa in the Elbe-Elster district — one of Brandenburg's sparsely populated, rural regions between Cottbus and Dresden. The administrative term 'Amt Plessa' refers to an administrative structure used jointly for several small municipalities in Brandenburg. Schraden, Plessa, Mühlberg/Elbe, and other villages share administration and school facilities.
Village Festivals — The Soul of Brandenburg
In a federal state with over 11,000 villages, village festivals like the Schraden festival are the heart of local culture. They are often the only opportunity in the year for the entire village community to come together — generations, children who have moved away, and new arrivals from the city. Those who want to experience Brandenburg authentically should not go to Berlin or Potsdam, but to a village like Schraden on a June weekend.
