Living Franconian Customs
The Kirchweih Rohr – Franconian "Kerwa" or "Kärwa" – is celebrated extensively in the municipality of Rohr in Mittelfranken (Roth district, Bavaria). The Kirchweih traditionally commemorates the consecration of the church and is one of the most important traditional dates in the community's annual calendar, which celebrates several church consecrations with its districts over the summer months.
Four-Day Schedule
The Kerwa in Rohr spans a long weekend with a clearly structured program:
- Friday, 7 PM: Beer tapping and shooting for the citizens' shooting king
- Saturday, 4 PM: Raising of the Kärwabaum
- Sunday: Kerwa church service at 9:30 AM, followed by the grand parade at 2 PM
- Monday: Morning pint at 10 AM, relaxed end from 8 PM
The festival is supported by the Kärwagesellschaft (fairground association) with the "Kärwaboum" and "Kärwamädli", including a beer tent, festival hosts, and amusement rides.
