One Village, One Festival, One Brigade

Bergendorf is located between Donauwörth and Dillingen in the Swabian part of Bavaria, directly at the transition between the Donauried and the hilly Riesalb. As a district of Holzheim (Donau-Ries), it has only a few dozen farms – but the Bergendorf Fire Brigade is the central club here, organizing not only fire protection but also social life.

The Dorffest — Swabian Sociability

The Dorffest of the FF Bergendorf is one of those typical small Swabian-Bavarian summer events: tables and benches are set up in the village center, the brigade's grill is fired up with steaks and sausages, accompanied by beer from the tap, homemade cakes, and coffee in the afternoon. A small brass band from the Donau-Ries traditionally plays – sometimes the Holzheim music band, sometimes the neighboring brigades from Ederheim or Mönchsdeggingen.

Program Signals from the Region

Noon to late evening: Festival operation with lunch, coffee and cake, grill, and beer service.
Family-friendly: Children play around the fire station, often with demonstrations by the youth brigade.
Bavarian-Swabian Mixed Cuisine: Roast pork, Kässpätzle (cheese noodles), and Apfelküchle (apple fritters) from the village households.

In the Donau-Ries Calendar

The Dorffest in Bergendorf is part of the dense festival calendar in the Donau-Ries district, where almost every week from May to September, a different fire brigade or club celebrates – from the 150th anniversary of the FF Enkingen at the beginning of July to the large Heimat- und Volksfest (homeland and folk festival) in Nördlingen. Those who want to experience the real Swabia-Bavaria beyond the tourist hustle and bustle will find the right start here.
