Dorffest Feigenhofen

When the Fire Brigade Hosts a Village Festival

In Bavarian-Swabian villages, the Volunteer Fire Brigade is not just a rescue organisation but also the central club and driving force of village life. The FFW Feigenhofen village festival is exactly this kind of celebration: organised voluntarily by the fire brigade members, celebrated on a festival ground in the village, and financially important for the club's funds (investments in equipment, training, youth work). Those who attend not only support a great festival atmosphere but also the local fire and disaster relief.

What to Expect

• Brass Music: local brass band or guest band, sometimes a dance band
• Barbecue Specialities: sausages, steaks, chicken from the grill
• Lunch Menu: Swabian classics like roast pork, Käsespätzle, pasta
• Beer: from a regional brewery (in the Augsburg district, e.g., Brauerei Riegele, Sailer, Vetter)
• Coffee and Cake: on Sunday afternoon, homemade cakes by the women of the club
• Raffle: often a raffle with prizes from local businesses
• Children's Programme: bouncy castle, games, fire brigade demonstration with a firefighting display

Feigenhofen and Biberbach

Feigenhofen is a district of the market town of Biberbach (Augsburg district), located northwest of Augsburg in the region of the Western Forests / Stauden. Biberbach itself has around 5,000 inhabitants and consists of several districts, each with its own club life — besides Feigenhofen, it includes Markt (main town), Affaltern, Eisenbrechtshofen, and other smaller hamlets. The Catholic parish church of Mariä Heimsuchung in Biberbach is an important pilgrimage church in the region.
