Harvest Thanksgiving in the Peenetal
The Erntefest Sassen-Trantow is an annual festival that honours the end of the harvest. The venue is the grounds of the Sassen agricultural cooperative – a place that underscores the festival's close connection to agriculture. The festival follows the tradition of harvest thanksgiving festivals, with which rural communities have celebrated the gathered harvest since time immemorial.
Festive Church Service and Harvest Crown
The day begins with a festive church service in the church. The centrepiece of the festival is the harvest crown – an artfully crafted decoration made from ears of grain and field crops, produced by dedicated hands from the community. The coffee reception with brass music takes place under the harvest crown, and an invitation to dance is extended in the evening.
Agricultural Machinery and Family Programme
A highlight is the parade with old and new agricultural machinery: historic tractors and modern machines parade through the village, showcasing the changes in agriculture. For children, there are pony rides, archery, carriage rides, and a miniature railway. The festival is designed to be intergenerational and family-friendly.
