Edition 2025 — Sheep Festival Hersbruck
The 31st Medieval Sheep Festival took place on Sunday, May 4, 2025, at the German Shepherd Museum Hersbruck. The family-friendly festival centered around sheep attracted visitors with a medieval market, crafts, the camp of the Ritter von der Zarg, and minstrel music. The highlight, as always, was the award ceremony for the drawing competition with a real sheep as the grand prize.
The 31st Medieval Sheep Festival on May 4, 2025, was celebrated as a wonderful, family-friendly festival with friends centered around sheep. The museum garden became a sheep pasture, children could pet lambs, and the medieval market stretched across the grounds.
The 'Ritter von der Zarg' showed their camp life and staged show fights, minstrels provided historical sounds, and medieval cooking took place in the museum kitchen. Traditionally, the winners of the drawing competition were honored—the grand prize was a real sheep along with family museum vouchers.
