Herbstdult Regensburg

About Herbstdult Regensburg

The Regensburger Herbstdult, alongside the Maidult, is one of Regensburg's two major folk festivals. It boasts a tradition spanning over 600 years. The Dultplatz at Protzenweiher in the Stadtamhof district, right on the Danube, transforms into a vibrant mix of a traditional beer tent folk festival, a colourful amusement park, and a traditional goods market in late summer. Two large festival tents, rustic fish grills, beer gardens, numerous rides, and a market with vendors from all over Germany make the Herbstdult a highlight of the Bavarian festival calendar. Originating from a medieval church fair, the Dult is today a major regional event with a long history.

Over 600 Years of Dult Tradition

The Regensburger Dult evolved from a medieval church fair into a major regional folk festival. With over 600 years of tradition, it is one of Bavaria's most historic festivals. Two Dulten take place annually: the Maidult in spring and the Herbstdult in late summer in the city of Regensburg in the Upper Palatinate.

The Festival Grounds on the Danube

The venue is the Dultplatz at Protzenweiher in the Stadtamhof district, directly on the Danube. The spacious grounds feature two large festival tents, as well as traditional fish grills and cosy beer gardens. The festival tents open daily from 11 a.m.

Folk Festival, Amusement Park, and Goods Market

The Dult comprises several components: the amusement Dult with rides and attractions, the festival tent experience with Bavarian festival culture, and the goods market (Warendult), where vendors from all over Germany offer their wares. A traditional parade traditionally opens the festivities.
