Traditional Kirmes in Stahlhofen am Wiesensee in the Montabaur municipality
The Kirmes Stahlhofen is one of the traditional summer kirmes of the Montabaur municipality and is anchored in the official Kirmes calendar 2026 of the VG Montabaur (as of October 2025). It follows a long line of Westerwald kirmes dates that take place every weekend of the summer in different municipalities of the administrative district, shaping rural festival life.
From June 12, 2026, to June 15, 2026, the kirmes offers a classic Westerwald program including the opening of the festival tent with a keg tapping ceremony, dance and disco evenings, Frühschoppen on Sunday with club participation, and a family afternoon with coffee, cake, and carousels. Food stalls, sweet shops, and drink stands complement the festival tent events.
The kirmes is organized by local clubs and the local council, who pool their efforts for the joint summer festival. The fire department, sports clubs, music clubs, carnival associations, and youth groups participate in the program and catering. This makes the kirmes more than just an amusement park: it is an expression of a vibrant village community and living tradition in the Westerwald.
