Grötzinger Kerwefest

2025 — Neighbourhood Atmosphere

The 2025 Kerwe once again attracted loyal regulars from Grötzingen and the neighbouring districts of Berghausen, Hagsfeld, and Stupferich. Compared to the major Karlsruhe neighbourhood festivals (Durlacher Altstadtfest, Mühlburger Fest), the Grötzinger Kerwefest is small, intimate, and association-based — therein lies its charm.

The OWGV not only maintains the festival itself but also cultivates the allotment garden complex year-round and offers pruning courses, varietal knowledge, and distillation days. The Kerwe is, in a sense, the window to the outside world, where the association invites the general public once a year to experience club life.
