Kirchheimer Kerwe Heidelberg

Heidelberg District Kirchweih Tradition

The Kirchheimer Kerwe is one of Heidelberg's established district festivals. In the cycle of Heidelberg's district Kerwen — from Hendsemer Kerwe in June to Neckarfest Wieblingen in September — Kirchheim holds its firm place in the second half of September.

In 2025, the Kerwe again attracted families and district residents from Kirchheim, Rohrbach, Bergheim, and Heidelberg's southern districts. The combination of club catering, live music, and a manageable festival area at the Kerweplatz makes the format a local success recipe — a real district Kirchweih, not an interchangeable large event.
