Kartoffelsonntag Fallersleben
Culinary district festival in the old town of Fallersleben with potato pancakes, rosemary potatoes, and potato schnapps — since 2011 with the election of the Fallersleben Potato Queen
About Kartoffelsonntag Fallersleben
On the second weekend of October 2026 (expected October 11), Kartoffelsonntag Fallersleben puts the potato center stage — culinarily, traditionally, and rurally. In the old town of Fallersleben, restaurateurs, craftspeople, and associations present everything to do with the tuber: potato pancakes, rosemary potatoes, fried potatoes, potato soup, potato tapas, and potato schnapps.
Since 2011, the Fallersleben Potato Queen has been elected as part of the festival — a lovingly ironic custom that gives the day a special touch. Kartoffelsonntag is organized by the Heimat- und Fremdenverkehrsverein Fallersleben together with the Verein Blickpunkt Fallersleben.

Fallersleben's Culinary Flagship
With Kartoffelsonntag, Fallersleben sets a clear cultural accent in autumn: the district celebrates a regional food deeply rooted in Lower Saxony's agriculture. The event involves restaurateurs, bakers, craftspeople, musicians, and associations — thus creating a dense, diverse picture of the place.
Potatoes in All Variations
At the stalls along the old town alleys, you'll find classics and specialties: potato pancakes with apple sauce, fried potatoes, rosemary potatoes, potato soup, potato fritters, potato tapas, potato burgers, and sweets like potato fritter sticks with cinnamon and sugar. A specialty is the potato schnapps, produced by small distilleries from the region.
Craftspeople and Associations
In addition to culinary offerings, craftspeople present their work: arts and crafts, basket weaving, small manufactories. Associations provide information about their activities and run their own stalls.
Potato Queen
Since 2011, the Fallersleben Potato Queen has been elected as part of the festival — a local woman who represents Fallersleben at various events throughout the year. The election is accompanied by a small, festively staged coronation and is one of the emotional highlights of the day.
Musical Supporting Program
Musicians and small bands provide a atmospheric soundtrack along the old town. The performers are mostly from Fallersleben and the surrounding area.
