Autumn Fair with Tradition

When autumn colours the trees and the apple harvest reaches its peak, the season of the Herbstkrammarkt begins in Stadthagen. From Friday to Tuesday, the festival grounds on Enzer Straße are bustling with activity. Showmen from all over the region set up their rides, from traditional swing boats to modern high-tech attractions. The aroma of bratwurst, roasted almonds, and cotton candy fills the air, while music from loudspeakers creates a festive atmosphere.

Apple Market – Regional Variety

Parallel to the Krammarkt, the Apfelmarkt in Stadthagen's town center invites you to explore the regional diversity of fruit. Fruit growers from the Schaumburg region present old and new apple varieties, freshly pressed apple juice, apple cider, apple cake, and various baked goods featuring the popular autumn fruit. The market offers an opportunity to talk to the producers and promote awareness of regional agriculture.

Family-Friendly Opening Hours

The extended opening hours from Friday to Tuesday invite multiple visits. While the fair is open until 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, the stalls close earlier on Sundays and weekdays. This ensures that every visitor group – families with children, young people, older guests – finds their perfect time to visit.

Stadthagen in Autumnal Attire

Stadthagen's historic town center, with its half-timbered houses, the town hall, and the St. Martini Church, presents itself in autumnal splendor in October. The Herbstkrammarkt adds a festive touch in the pre-Christmas season and forms a convivial highlight in the annual calendar of the Schaumburg district town.
