Kirchheim, a Family Community and its Club Landscape
Kirchheim near Munich is considered a family-friendly community in the district of Munich (state of Bavaria, district code 09184) and is home to over 80 clubs and institutions — from traditional costume and music clubs to sports clubs and social and charitable organizations. This club landscape shapes the cultural life of the community and is particularly visible at the annual Dorffest.
Pfarrer-Caspar-Mayr-Platz as the Village Center
The Dorffest takes place around Pfarrer-Caspar-Mayr-Platz in the center of Kirchheim — named after the long-serving pastor who shaped the community. A festival tent, several stands from participating clubs, and stages for musical accompaniment transform the square into a large, inviting festival mile for a weekend. Clubs provide catering, clubs play music, clubs organize hands-on activities — the character is classically village-Bavarian, in a town that has long since belonged to Munich's affluent commuter belt.
Program for the Whole Family
The program ranges from live music in the festival tent and catering with Bavarian specialties to hands-on activities for children and an afternoon for children and youth with a science show, Clown Pippo, and participatory dance. An ecumenical festival service on Sunday morning traditionally opens the second day of the festival. Free admission.
What Else is Happening in Kirchheim
The Dorffest is one of several major events in Kirchheim's annual calendar: a family sports day in June, the "Open Stage im Park" at the end of July, and the Christkindlmarkt (Christmas market) at the beginning of December round off the community's cultural offerings. Anyone who has attended the Dorffest knows the fusion of Bavarian tradition and Munich commuter belt modernity that defines Kirchheim.
