Pentecost Market with a Wine Accent

The Horrheim Pfingstmarkt has a unique character among Swabian Pentecost markets: it takes place in a wine-growing village. Horrheim is a district of Vaihingen an der Enz (Ludwigsburg district, AGS 08118) and is located on the Stromberg — a hilly wine landscape between Heilbronn and Bietigheim-Bissingen. The Horrheim Winegrowers' Cooperative, one of the region's traditional wine producers, is a co-organizer and naturally brings local wine as the main beverage to the market.

Traders' Market in the Village Center

The venue is the historic village center of Horrheim. The Krämermarkt (traders' market) extends along the main street and the central market square with the Protestant church in the background. The assortment is diverse:

Fashion and jewelry
Leather goods and bags
Household items and kitchenware
Creative crafts and decoration
Toys and stationery
Seasonal plants, garden items

Most stalls are operated by traveling market vendors from southern Germany, with some regional providers from Vaihingen, Bietigheim, and the Stromberg region. In total, around 50–80 stalls, depending on registrations.

Gastronomy with Horrheim Wine

The culinary aspect is the second strength of the festival — as a wine-growing village, Horrheim serves its own wines on Whit Monday. The Horrheim Winegrowers' Cooperative sets up a wine stand offering tastings of local Trollinger, Lemberger, Riesling, and Schwarzriesling. Wine spritzers, Federweißer (young wine), and sparkling wine from the cooperative are also available. Catering is supplemented by local clubs with barbecue stands, Maultaschen (Swabian dumplings), fries, and non-alcoholic drinks.

Horrheim — Viticulture on the Stromberg

Horrheim was incorporated into Vaihingen in 1970 and is now a district with just under 2,500 inhabitants. Its location on the southern slope of the Stromberg makes it a classic wine-growing village — viticulture has shaped the landscape for centuries. The Horrheim Winegrowers' Cooperative, founded in the 19th century, unites most of Horrheim's winegrowers and is now an important source of Baden-Swabian quality wines.

Whit Monday as a Market Tradition

Pentecost markets have a long tradition in southern Germany — they often mark the beginning of the summer market season and are a reliable fixture in many small towns and villages. The Horrheim Pfingstmarkt shares this tradition with other Pentecost markets in the region (Ehningen Pentecost Market, Köngen Pentecost Market, etc.) — and stands out for its distinct wine focus.
