Eberwin and the Year 767

The festival name goes back to the Franconian nobleman Eberwin, who made a donation to the Lorsch Monastery on June 26, 767 – and thus mentioned Obereisesheim in a document for the first time. The donation certificate, preserved in the Lorsch Codex, is the origin of the district and the reason for the Eberwinfest. You will experience a festival here that proudly looks back on its over 1,250-year history while also living modern village community.

The Local Association as Organizer

The organizer is the Obereisesheim Local Association – an alliance of all clubs, associations, churches, and schools in the district. The music association, the TSV, the fire department, the rural women, the kindergartens, the church communities, and many other organizations pull together. The Eberwinfest is their common showcase – and the highlight of the club year.

Barrel Tapping on Saturday

The kick-off is traditionally the barrel tapping on Saturday afternoon by the Lord Mayor of Neckarsulm and the District Administrator of Obereisesheim. Afterwards, the festival weekend starts with live music from the music associations, food stalls from the clubs, a showman's carousel, and a bungee jumping stand, which is particularly popular with younger visitors.

Eberwin Olympics on Sunday

The actual highlight is the Eberwin Olympics on Sunday – a humorous club competition where all member clubs compete against each other in disciplines such as wellie throwing, water bucket relay, bratwurst eating contest, and creative skill games. The challenge trophy is traditionally awarded with great fanfare, and in the evening, the festival concludes with live bands and dance music.

Obereisesheim – A District with Character

With around 4,000 inhabitants, Obereisesheim is one of Neckarsulm's larger districts. Characterized by viticulture, scattered orchards, and the historic town center with the Eberwin monument, it forms a haven of peace between the Audi city of Neckarsulm and the vineyards of the lower Heilbronn region. Its location on the Neckartal cycle path also makes it interesting for cycle tourism.
