Wert-Wies'n Künzelsau

About Wert-Wies'n Künzelsau

In October, the Wertwiesen on the Kocher river in Künzelsau transform into a small Wiesn: a large festival tent, live bands, Maßkrüge (liter beer mugs) and Brezn (pretzels), amusement rides, and the obligatory Weißwurst breakfast on Sunday – the Wert-Wies'n has been bringing Oktoberfest atmosphere to the Hohenlohe metropolis since 2018. The 8th edition will take place from October 8th to 11th, 2026. Thursday kicks off relaxed with DJ sound and free admission, Friday officially opens with the mayor's barrel tapping ceremony at 2 PM, Saturday the festival tent rocks to live bands late into the night, and Sunday reconciles with Weißwurst breakfast and Frühschoppen (morning pint). Table reservations for eight-person tables on Friday and Saturday are bookable from €184 including one beer per person – ideal for club outings and larger groups from Künzelsau, the Hohenlohe district, and all of Württemberg-Franconia.

Oktoberfest Feeling in Hohenlohe

The Künzelsau Wert-Wies'n is the major Volksfest (public festival) of the town of Künzelsau, the district capital of the Hohenlohekreis. Since 2018, the Künzelsau city administration has organized a four-day Oktoberfest-style Volksfest on the Wertwiesen directly on the Kocher river – with a large festival tent, Bavarian sound, Maßkrüge, Brezn, and amusement rides. 2026 marks the 8th edition.

The Program — From Thursday to Sunday

Thursday: Festival opens at 4 PM, DJ sound from 6 PM, free admission – ideal stress-free start.
Friday: Festival begins at 2 PM, followed by the barrel tapping ceremony by the mayor, live band in the festival tent in the evening.
Saturday: Festival begins at 2 PM, live band in the evening – traditionally the busiest festival day with a dance floor and full lineup.
Sunday: Weißwurst breakfast from 11 AM with folk musicians, flea market 11 AM–4 PM, free admission.

Amusement Rides and Flea Market

The showman's association sets up its stalls around the festival tent: carousels, roller coaster, dodgems, food stalls, and shooting galleries. On Sunday, a flea market complements the program – a typical element of smaller Volksfeste in Württemberg-Franconia.

Nestled in the Hohenlohe Metropolis

Künzelsau is the district capital of the Hohenlohekreis and home to important medium-sized companies (Würth, Berner, Optima). The Wertwiesen are located directly on the Kocher river, within walking distance of the city center. Those who wish to combine the Volksfest with culture can visit the nearby Würth Art Forum or take a short hike along the Kocher river.
