Market in "Kloa Paris"
The Eschau Kerbmarkt is a fixture in the event calendar of the market town of Eschau in the Lower Franconian district of Miltenberg. For generations, the town on the edge of the Spessart has borne the affectionate nickname "Kloa Paris" – a nickname that stands for the self-confident, joyful tradition of the people of Eschau and is particularly palpable during the Kerbmarkt.
Church Procession and Market Opening
The market day begins with a church service in the Epiphaniaskirche, followed by a church procession to the market square. There, the mayor officially opens the market around 11 a.m. Until the late afternoon (approximately 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.), the market square and town centre transform into a lively festival mile.
Music, Market, and Customs
Around the market square, in the historic town hall, in the Elsavahalle, and on Wildenseer Straße, the Fanfarenzug Eschau, the Musikverein Regina Rück Schippach, and the Bläserchor Sommerau provide musical entertainment. Customs include the "Kerbsuche" (searching for the Kerb), the distribution of the "Kloa Pariser", and a raffle. For children, there is a special programme in the Rathausplatz and the Elsavahalle, including a puppet theatre.
Flea Market on the Day Before
A large flea market takes place the day before, attracting additional visitors to the town and rounding off the market weekend. Stalls with goods, handicrafts, and Franconian specialities complement the offerings.
Tradition and Community
The Kerbmarkt is much more than a market event: it is an expression of Eschau's village identity and strengthens community life in the Miltenberg district. Clubs, the church, and the municipality jointly organise the festival, thus maintaining a vibrant Franconian tradition.
