Parish Festival Weibersbrunn

Parish Festival in the Heart of the Hochspessart

The Parish Festival Weibersbrunn is an annual summer festival of the Catholic parish. In 2026, it will take place on Sunday, July 26, starting at 11:00 AM at the Wanderheim Weibersbrunn – a classic meeting point in the Hochspessart, which opens up the Spessart forest and the small paths around Weibersbrunn.

Parish Association Maria Regina im Spessart

The parish of Weibersbrunn is part of the Parish Association Maria Regina im Spessart in the Diocese of Würzburg, Pastoral Area Spessart Mitte. The parish festival is one of the central club festivals of the community and is organized together with local clubs, scouts, and altar servers.

Program around the Wanderheim

Traditionally, the parish festival begins with a festive church service, followed by a morning pint, lunch with regional specialties, and coffee and cake in the afternoon. Families will find a children's program; hikers can combine the parish festival with a tour through the Spessart forest.

Weibersbrunn — "The Heart of the Hochspessart"

With around 2,000 inhabitants, Weibersbrunn is located in the middle of the Hochspessart, in the district of Aschaffenburg, Lower Franconia. The community calls itself "The Heart of the Hochspessart" and is characterized by dense forests, springs, and historical glassblower memories. The Spessart is one of the largest contiguous deciduous forest areas in Germany and a popular recreational destination for the Rhine-Main region.

Club Life and Encounters

Parish festivals like the one in Weibersbrunn are the social link for small communities in Bavaria: church, clubs, and the population meet informally, and proceeds usually go to parish and social causes. In the Spessart, where many villages are struggling with population decline, this anchoring is of particular importance.
