Feuerbacher Kirbe — Stuttgart's second-largest folk festival

When people in Stuttgart talk about folk festivals, the Cannstatter Wasen usually comes to mind first. However, every September, the city's north hosts its own smaller, yet deeply traditional celebration: the Feuerbacher Kirbe. It is widely considered the second-largest event of its kind in Stuttgart after the Cannstatter Volksfest, and for the residents of the Feuerbach district, it is the absolute highlight of the year.

Festplatz Feuerbach: Kärntner Straße 48

The festival takes place at the Festplatz Feuerbach on Kärntner Straße 48 (70469 Stuttgart), which is easily accessible via the U6 and U13 tram lines. During the festival, a large marquee is set up here, alongside an amusement park with rides and showmen, as well as a traditional market with various stalls. The event is organized by Märkte Stuttgart GmbH, while the marquee has been operated by the Musikverein Stadtorchester Feuerbach 1899 e. V. since 1964.

The Marquee: Live Music and Swabian Cuisine

The heart of the festival is the marquee. The program changes daily, ranging from musical theater evenings, party bands, and rock concerts to brass music and guest orchestras on Sunday. The catering offers draft beer and hearty Swabian dishes. Marquee opening hours: Thursday 6 pm–10 pm, Friday 6 pm–11 pm, Saturday 11 am–11 pm, Sunday 10 am–10 pm, Monday 11 am–10 pm.

Amusement Park: Rides and Attractions

The amusement park is open from Saturday to Monday, 11 am to 11 pm. Showmen bring classic fairground rides, complemented by typical stalls selling sweets, roasted almonds, and gingerbread hearts.

The Market

The market is a unique tradition of the Feuerbacher Kirbe, with stalls offering household goods, tools, clothing, plants, leather goods, and food. It is open Saturday and Monday from 9 am to 8 pm, and Sunday from 11 am to 8 pm.

The Monday Dignitaries' Roundtable

The highlight for the district's political and cultural elite is the Honoratioren-Stammtisch on Monday in the marquee, traditionally featuring a keynote speech and the tapping of the keg by a high-ranking state politician. It is the premier social event in Stuttgart's north.

Feuerbach District

Feuerbach is one of Stuttgart's northern districts. It is characterized by industry—including Bosch and numerous automotive suppliers—yet it maintains a strong sense of identity, centered around the Wilhelm-Geiger-Platz. The Kirbe is the central expression of this identity and is considered by many locals to be the more down-to-earth folk festival.
