Summer Festival by the Stream
The Fischfest an der Weth has been organised by SV Oberpleichfeld e. V. since the early 1990s. The venue is the meadows along the Weth stream, which flows through the municipality of Oberpleichfeld in the Lower Franconian district of Würzburg in the state of Bavaria. The festival grounds are located directly behind the parish church and around the sports club house at Rothweg 5. Three days of festivities – from Friday evening to Sunday – attract guests from the entire Main Franconian region and beyond.
Fish in All Variations
As the festival name suggests, the menu focuses on fish specialities: the Bavarian classic Steckerlfisch (whole mackerel on a wooden stick grilled over open embers), smoked trout, grilled salmon fillet, breaded plaice, and prawn skewers. In addition, there are Hungarian specialities such as Lángos and Palatschinken, as well as classic Franconian bratwurst, fries, and a selection of cakes. A dedicated fish grilling team is in action daily and is one of the festival's biggest attractions.
Programme and Atmosphere
Friday evening traditionally kicks off with a band night featuring dance music in the festival tent. On Saturday, live bands from the region play from the late afternoon onwards; the day concludes with a long festival night. Sunday is dedicated to Frühschoppen with brass music, followed by lunch and a relaxed end to the festival in the afternoon. For families, there are play stations for children, a wheel of fortune, and a tombola.
Club Life by the Village Stream
SV Oberpleichfeld is one of the pillars of village life. The Fischfest is its most important self-organised event and significantly finances the club's sports departments and youth work. Over the years, the festival has gained a reputation far beyond the municipal borders and has become a firm summer ritual for many families from the Schweinfurt-Würzburg area.
