4th Medieval Market Dannenberg 2026

4th Edition in Dannenberg

The 4th Medieval Market in Dannenberg will take place from Saturday, July 18th, to Sunday, July 19th, 2026, at the Hermann-Stolte-Stadion. The organiser is the Mittelaltergilde Elbe-Wendland e.V., which has been cultivating and developing medieval traditions in the region since its founding.

Medieval Crafts and Performances

Craftspeople will present traditional medieval techniques at the market: blacksmithing, leatherworking, bow making, carving, felt making, and medieval cuisine. In addition, performances will shape the weekend — historical combat displays, dance, theatre, fire shows, and musical performances.

• Rowdy Robert Blake — Street magic and medieval illusions
• Rabenzauber — Medieval music
• Heiter bis Folkig — Medieval folk
• Flammende Vagabunden — Fire and acrobatics show

Benefit Music Festival for Tolerance and Diversity

A special feature of the Dannenberg Medieval Market: it sees itself as a benefit music festival for tolerance and diversity. The Mittelaltergilde Elbe-Wendland combines the historical setting with a clear socio-political message — the Middle Ages as a stage for encounter and openness, not for isolation.
