Centuries-Old Dult Tradition

The Landshuter Frühjahrsdult looks back on a centuries-old history and is one of the most traditional folk festivals in all of Lower Bavaria. The term "Dult" refers to an annual fair with a folk festival character in the Bavarian dialect. The venue is the Grieserwiese on the Isar, located directly below the historic old town of Landshut with the visible St. Martin's Church.

Amusement Dult and Sales Dult

The Dult combines two worlds: On the amusement Dult, beer tents, rides, and showmen ensure festive joy, while the sales Dult offers everyday goods, household items, and specialties at market stalls. A nostalgic chain carousel spins its rounds high above the Grieserwiese, and the Ferris wheel almost reaches the tower height of St. Martin's Church.

Beer Tents and Customs

Bavarian specialties and freshly tapped beer are served in the large beer tents. The festive opening is traditionally marked by the tapping of the first keg by the mayor in front of the town hall. Reduced prices apply on family days, and fireworks over the Isar crown the festivities on Friday evenings.

Landshut – Ducal City on the Isar

The independent city of Landshut, the former residence of the Wittelsbach Dukes of Bavaria-Landshut, is one of the most beautiful cities in Lower Bavaria with its Trausnitz Castle and Gothic old town. The Frühjahrsdult and its autumn counterpart have shaped the social life of the city for generations.
