Kokot w Bórkowach – 133rd Hahnrupfen of the Domowina Youth Burg
2025
Edition 2025 — Finished
Edition 2025 — Hahnrupfen Burg/Spreewald
The 132nd Hahnrupfen of the Domowina Youth Burg in 2025 was traditionally celebrated in the summer on Waldschlößchenstraße. Young riders, at a gallop, reached for the rooster's head and wings – a custom that keeps the oldest Wendish harvest traditions of Lower Lusatia alive.
The festival was framed by a program of Sorbian costumes and dances, and a festival tent offering traditional wedding soup, bratwurst, and Plinsen. The Domowina Youth Burg thus makes an important contribution to preserving the identity of the Sorbian minority.
