Kirchweih Diebach
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Kirwa Diebach
The 2025 Kirwa followed, as always, the classic Franconian Kirwa sequence: raising of the Kirwabaum, festive mass for All Saints' Day, traditional dances by the young men and women, and a festive evening in the inn. Diebach thus keeps alive one of the old Franconian folk traditions that is re-enacted annually in many villages in the region.
The connection with All Saints' Day – a holiday celebrated in Catholic regions with cemetery visits and solemn remembrance – gives the Diebach Kirwa a special touch: on the day of solemn commemoration, the festival culminates in joy and conviviality in the evening.
