Schmogrow-Fehrow — A Wendish Spreewald Village
Schmogrow-Fehrow is located in the Amt Burg (Spreewald) district, Spree-Neiße, right in the heart of the Spreewald Biosphere Reserve. The municipality belongs to the traditional settlement area of the Sorbs/Wends — the West Slavic minority that has preserved its language, traditional costume, and customs in Lusatia for over a thousand years. This cultural identity is still palpable in the village today: bilingual place signs, old traditional costumes for special occasions, and a vibrant club scene.
Traditionsverein Schmogrow — 30 Years of Preserving Customs
The Traditionsverein Schmogrow was founded on February 11, 1994, and has since been dedicated to preserving the Wendish and German traditions of the village — from Spreewald costumes to Bullenschätzen (a traditional game) and communal celebrations. In 2024, the club celebrated its 30th anniversary with a grand festival that brought together the diversity of local culture in one day. The festival has since become a recurring highlight in the Schmogrow calendar.
Spreewald-Style Programme
The festival begins on Whitsun Sunday at 10 a.m. with a musical morning pint — the Peitz musicians set the tone. This is followed by a colourful stage programme featuring traditional dances in Spreewald costume, the Liederkranz male choir, a performance by the Wendish-German kindergarten "Małe Myški" from Fehrow/Prjawoz, and the singing Spreewald innkeeper Günni. A Spreewald market with regional specialties, an oldtimer and tractor exhibition, and the traditional Bullenschätzen round off the day. For the youngest guests, there's a bouncy castle and face painting.
Tradition Meets Spreewald Nature
Schmogrow-Fehrow is situated within the Spreewald's network of waterways — visitors to the anniversary festival should combine their day with a punt boat trip through the canals or a walk through the typical Spreewald landscape. Burg (Spreewald), the nearest larger town, is only a few kilometres away and offers further tourist attractions. The Schmogrow festival represents the beauty that you won't find in any guidebook: living village culture in one of Germany's most unique cultural landscapes.

Schmogrow Anniversary Festival 2026 — Whitsun Tradition in the Spreewald
On Whitsun Sunday, May 19, 2026, from 10 a.m., the Traditionsverein Schmogrow once again invites you to its festival day at the Schmogrow open-air stage by the sports field. In the spirit of the successful anniversary edition of the previous year, the festival combines Wendish-German tradition, a Spreewald market, and conviviality.
The day kicks off with a musical morning pint featuring the Peitz musicians. Throughout the day, a colourful stage programme showcases dances in Spreewald costume, the Liederkranz male choir, and other local groups. At the Spreewald market along the festival grounds, you'll find regional specialties — from fresh Plinsen and Butterquark-Stullen to pickled cucumbers from Spreewald manufactories. An exhibition of oldtimers and tractors, along with the traditional Bullenschätzen, are the unusual highlights of the day. Free admission.
