Pfeddersheimer Markt — Pedderschmer Markt

Pfeddersheim — Worms' Wine District

Worms-Pfeddersheim is located west of the Nibelungenstadt on the edge of the Rhenish-Hessian hill country. With its vineyards, several wineries, and a distinct village character, Pfeddersheim is an independent wine village within the city limits. The place's self-confidence is expressed in a rich festival culture, the most important date of which is the annual Pedderschmer Markt in August.

Six Days of Folk Market

The market extends over six days — from Thursday to the following Tuesday — and combines several elements: folk market with fairground rides (carousels, shooting galleries, candy stalls), wine festival with local winemakers serving wine, a festival tent with a daily changing live program, dance evenings, morning pint gatherings, and family offers.

Tradition of “Marktfraa un' Winzerborsch”

A special feature of the Pfeddersheimer Markt is the tradition of the “Marktfraa un' Winzerborsch” — Market Woman and Winegrower's Lad. These two symbolic figures are newly enthroned each year and represent the festival to guests, during the parade, and at numerous official occasions. The tradition combines the wine and folk festival tradition into its own festival culture, developed in Pfeddersheim.

Organizer Pedderschmer Markt e.V.

The festival is supported by the registered association “Pedderschmer Markt e.V.”, which brings together clubs, winemakers, restaurateurs, and committed citizens of Pfeddersheim. The association organizes the program, coordinates showmen and security, maintains the traditions, and ensures the annual publication of the program booklet on pfeddersheimer-markt.de.
