Pre-Christmas mulled wine festival at the fire station — convivial Advent gathering of the village community in the Altenburger Land district
The Glühweinfest Mehna is a classic village Advent festival in the tradition of Eastern Thuringia. It is organized by the Mehna Volunteer Fire Brigade together with the other village associations. The venue is the Mehna Fire Station and its forecourt — a classic meeting place for a small Advent gathering. In 2026, the festival will take place on Saturday, November 28, the last weekend of November, shortly before the first Advent.
The program is manageable, but focused: mulled wine in several varieties (classic red, white, non-alcoholic children's punch), Christmas specialties (bratwurst, stollen, gingerbread, roasted almonds), convivial atmosphere around fire barrels and the mulled wine stand. A small lighting display at the fire station, often live Christmas carols, and encounters with neighbors — the festival serves the social cohesion of the small village.
The district of Mehna belongs to the administrative community of Rositz in the Altenburger Land district (state of Thuringia). The region is predominantly agricultural; association life — especially fire brigades and heritage clubs — sustains the social life of small village communities. Arrival via A4 motorway, exit Schmölln-Ost, then B7 towards Rositz/Mehna.
The festival falls on the last Saturday of November — the classic date for village Advent festivals before the larger Christmas markets begin. The fire brigade and the other associations set up the stalls, and the fire station courtyard is festively decorated with fire barrels, fairy lights, and a small Christmas tree.
Admission free. Mulled wine €2-3, bratwurst €3, other food items at the stand. Proceeds go to the Mehna Volunteer Fire Brigade and village associations.
