Franconian Kärwa in Nuremberg
The Kirchweih Mühlhof – known as "Kärwa" in Franconian dialect – is a traditional folk festival in the Mühlhof district of Nuremberg in the south of the city, in the state of Bavaria. It is one of the many district Kirchweihen that shape Nuremberg's festival year and preserve a piece of Franconian identity.
Kärwa Customs
The Franconian Kirchweih has deep roots: originally a festival to consecrate the local church, it is today a convivial folk festival with a festival tent, brass music, beer tapping ceremony, dancing, and hearty pub cuisine. Bratwurst, Schäufele (pork shoulder), and beer are just as much a part of it as the exuberant atmosphere in the festival tent.
Festival Grounds and Organization
The venue is the grounds of TSV Mühlhof-Reichelsdorf e.V. at Auf der Schanz 70. The Kärwa is organized by the CSU Reichelsdorf-Mühlhof local chapter. Traditionally, the Kirchweih is opened with a ceremonial beer tapping.
Atmosphere
The Kirchweih Mühlhof is a festival by neighbours for neighbours: for several days, people from the district and surrounding areas come together in the festival tent to celebrate Franconian customs in a convivial atmosphere.
