Mögeldorfer Schlossfest

District Festival with History

The Mögeldorfer Schlossfest is the traditional summer festival of the Nürnberg district of Mögeldorf, located in the east of the Bavarian city of Nürnberg. The event is organised by the Bürger- & Geschichtsverein Mögeldorf e.V., which has been dedicated to researching and preserving the history of this historic district since its founding in 1890.

In the Historic Castle Garden

The venue is the Schlossgarten von Mögeldorf, a green oasis surrounding the historic manor houses of the district. Mögeldorf was once the site of several castles and manor houses belonging to Nürnberg's patrician families – this history forms the atmospheric backdrop for the festival. The programme includes:

• Live music on the festival stage
• Activities and games for children
• Culinary stalls with Franconian specialities
• Presentations by local associations and initiatives
• Insights into the district's history provided by the history association

Community and Tradition

The Schlossfest is a typical Nürnberg district festival: it strengthens neighbourly bonds, brings generations together, and makes the rich history of Mögeldorf tangible. The Bürger- & Geschichtsverein thus combines social gathering with its core mission of keeping the district's cultural heritage alive.
