Fun team competition through the village of Barfelde with game stations along the Zitterbach
In the Kampf am Zitterbach, teams of several people compete against each other, moving from station to station with a station map and collecting points. The tasks range from skill games and strength exercises to real water and mud battles. The stations are spread throughout the village, and the Zitterbach, which gives the event its name, naturally plays an important role: anyone who wades through it, crosses a bridge, or carries water in buckets will know exactly why the event is called that by the end.
The association Altes Feuerwehrhaus Barfelde operates the former fire station as a meeting place and organizes numerous events throughout the year. The Kampf am Zitterbach is its flagship event, which mobilizes the entire village: helpers set up stations, neighbors support with cake donations, and families cheer on their teams at the stations. Participants and spectators are catered for with bratwurst, drinks, and cake around the fire station.
Barfelde belongs to the town of Gronau (Leine) and is located in the Leine valley in the western district of Hildesheim. With active clubs and a committed village community, the place is one of the vivid examples of how volunteer engagement shapes rural areas. The Kampf am Zitterbach is representative of this vitality.
From 12:00 PM, teams will check in at the fire station, receive their station map, and set off. Over several hours, they will complete the stations, with the evaluation and awards ceremony scheduled for the evening.
The detailed program for 2026 will be published by the association Altes Feuerwehrhaus Barfelde in the spring. The structure will follow the proven cornerstones of previous years: team registration at the fire station, starting signal, parallel stations along the Zitterbach and in the village, catering with bratwurst and drinks, awards ceremony, and a joint conclusion in the late evening.
The 12th edition will take place on June 6, 2026, starting at 12:00 PM.
