Wittelsbacher Land as a Backdrop

Parishes like Todtenweis cultivate a lively community life, in which the annual parish festival plays a central role: an occasion for encounters between generations, for preserving traditions, and for supporting parish tasks.

Neighborhood and Encounters

With free admission and food at fair prices, the parish festival brings together the population of the village and surrounding parishes. It shows how important parish initiatives remain for the social life of smaller communities in Bavaria.
