Festival of Clubs Schwendi

Festival of Clubs Schwendi — Club Culture at its Finest

On June 13 and 14, 2026, seven clubs from the Oberschwaben municipality of Schwendi are organizing their joint club festival. The concept is unique: instead of each club holding its own festival, the clubs are joining forces to host a two-day festival weekend together. This pools resources, avoids overlapping events, and allows the festival to reach a scale far beyond a single club event.

Saturday, June 13 — Party Night with DJ Manne and DJ Lok

The event kicks off on Saturday evening with the Party Night. DJ Manne and DJ Lok will be spinning tunes at the Lazarus-von-Schwendi event hall — from hits of the 90s and 2000s, current charts, to Schlager and party hits. Admission is 16+, with a fee (advance booking recommended). The event regularly attracts young adults from the entire Biberach district and neighboring Ulm — one of the largest club parties in the region.

Sunday, June 14 — Morning Pint and Vintage Car Exhibition

Sunday is family-oriented and free:

• Ecumenical service to open the day
• Morning pint (Frühschoppen) with a performance by the music club and Swabian-Oberschwaben cuisine
• Vintage car exhibition — historic cars, tractors, and motorcycles from the region
• Activities by the participating clubs — fire brigade demonstrations, sports demonstrations, music club concerts
• Free admission

The Seven Clubs — Schwendi's Club Landscape

Schwendi is a prime example of Oberschwaben's vibrant club culture. Seven clubs — the fire brigade, music club, sports club, shooting club, heritage society, rural women's association, and youth club — form the backbone of social life in this municipality of just under 6,200 inhabitants. The joint festival strengthens connections, promotes cooperation, and makes club activities visible to the public.

Schwendi — Cradle in the Rottum Valley

Schwendi, with just under 6,200 inhabitants, is located in the northern Biberach district, in the picturesque Rottum Valley — roughly halfway between Ulm and Biberach an der Riß. The municipality is named after the famous field commander Lazarus von Schwendi (1522–1583), who is said to have introduced tobacco from Hungary to Central Europe. Today, the Lazarus-von-Schwendi event hall is the central hub of club culture and a meeting point for all generations.
