Mömlingen Kirchweih

Kirchweih on the Bavarian Lower Main

The Mömlingen Kirchweih is one of the traditional cultural events in the municipality of Mömlingen in the Miltenberg district of Lower Franconia. It is celebrated in November around the patronage day of the old parish church of St. Martin (November 11th). In 2026, Kirchweih Sunday falls on November 8th.

Sunday Shopping and Traditions

On Kirchweih Sunday, the shops in Mömlingen are open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., making the day a popular excursion destination on the Bavarian Lower Main. Around the church and the town center, the Kirchweih atmosphere, inns with festive menus, and catering by local clubs characterize the scene. Mömlingen preserves the tradition of the Martini-Kirchweih as a communal celebration of the municipality and the parish.

St. Martin and the Mömlingen Parish

The old, listed parish church of St. Martin, dating from 1774, is a baroque hall church and the landmark of the town center. The parish celebrates the patronage of its holy patron – also the patron saint of travelers, soldiers, and the poor – this weekend with a special service.

Location on the Bavarian Lower Main

Mömlingen is situated in the Mömlinga valley in the Miltenberg district of Bavaria, close to the borders of Hesse and Baden-Württemberg. The region is known for its traditional Kirchweihen — the Mömlingen Kirchweih marks one of the late highlights of the cultural season in November.
