Spring Market Rendsburg

About Spring Market Rendsburg

The Spring Market marks the start of the fair season for Rendsburg in April. For four days, the central Willy-Brandt-Platz is filled with rides, game stalls, and food – from the Europa-Rad Ferris wheel to the Break Dancer and 9D Action Cinema, as well as classic carousels for the little ones. From April 10th to 13th, 2026, Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH invites you to the first of four traditional Rendsburg fairs in the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district – a firm family date in the spring of Middle Holstein.

Getting Here

By train, Rendsburg is an important IC stop – direct from Hamburg (1h 30m) and Flensburg. From the main station, it's about a 10-minute walk to Willy-Brandt-Platz. By car, take the A7 (exit Rendsburg/Büdelsdorf). Parking is available in the city area; some may be inaccessible during the market due to road closures.

Start of the Rendsburg Fairs

Rendsburg boasts a long fair tradition with four markets per year – the Spring Market in April marks the start of the season, followed by the Summer Market (July), Autumn Fest (August), and the main Autumn Market in September. The organizer is Rendsburg Tourismus + Marketing GmbH, whose market master Tobias Hercher selects the showmen.

The Rides 2026

The 2026 edition once again brings the central showman highlights to the square:

Europa-Rad – the 38-meter-high Ferris wheel offering views over Rendsburg
Break Dancer – high-speed ride
Mach 1 and X-Flight – adrenaline attractions
New for 2026: 9D Action Cinema and Haunted House
For children: Jungle Express, carousel horses, chain carousel
Classic stalls: shooting galleries, lottery stalls, skill games

Generations of Showmen

A characteristic of the Rendsburg fairs is the close connection with showman families, some of whom have been running their businesses for several generations and have been guests in Rendsburg for decades. This continuity gives the markets their specific character – less of an anonymous large event and more of a family reunion with the square and its regular visitors.

Rendsburg-Eckernförde District

With around 28,000 inhabitants, Rendsburg is the district town of the Rendsburg-Eckernförde district in the state of Schleswig-Holstein and one of Northern Germany's most important transport hubs – at the intersection of the Kiel Canal, the A7 motorway, and the Hamburg–Kiel/Flensburg railway line. The fair serves an catchment area far beyond the city.
