About Kerwa Dachsbach

The Kirchweih in Dachsbach is a lively Franconian Kerwa (church consecration festival) in the market town of Dachsbach, Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim district. For several days, the local youths (Ortsburschen and Ortsmadle) celebrate old customs together with the entire community: on Kirchweihsamstag (the Saturday of the festival), the decorated Kirchweihfichte (festival fir tree) is erected in front of the 'Zur Goldenen Traube' inn, and on Sunday, the Kerwazug (festival procession) with creatively designed floats parades through the town. Regional specialties, music, and a lived sense of village community characterize the festival, which is supported by voluntary helpers.

A Kerwa with Tradition

The Kirchweih Dachsbach is a fixture on the event calendar of the market town of Dachsbach in the West Middle Franconian district of Neustadt an der Aisch-Bad Windsheim. Year after year, it is organized by the Dachsbach youths (Ortsburschen and Ortsmadle) and numerous voluntary helpers, and it is an expression of lived shared history and joy in the village community.

Kirchweihfichte and Kerwazug

The highlight of the customs is the erection of the Kirchweihfichte: On Kirchweihsamstag, the Ortsburschen erect the decorated tree at 3:00 PM in front of the 'Zur Goldenen Traube' inn. On Kirchweihsonntag, the Kerwaburschen and Kerwamadle parade through the town from 2:00 PM with creatively and humorously designed floats – the themed floats winkingly reference events of the past year.

Culinary Delights and Sociability

The local inns and clubs provide regional specialties, hearty delicacies, and drinks. The mayor and the community emphasize that the Kirchweih preserves cultural heritage while remaining vibrant with fresh elements – a festival that brings together locals and guests across generations.
