Kirchweih at the Hesselberg
Ehingen lies at the foot of the Hesselberg, the highest mountain in Middle Franconia, in the district of Ansbach. The Hesselberg region is known for its vibrant preservation of customs. The Kirchweih Ehingen – colloquially known as "Kerwa" – is a social highlight of the year for the municipality, with Kirchweih Sunday being the main day.
Franconian Kerwa Culture
The Kirchweih dates back to the consecration of the local church and has evolved into a secular festival with religious origins. Typical features include beer service, Franconian specialties, brass band music, and the convivial gathering of the village community. The Hesselberg Tourist Association e.V. publishes the Kirchweih dates for the region.
