Rosenkranzfest Kloster Banz

The 2025 edition of the Rosenkranzfest took place on Sunday, October 5, 2025, traditionally on the first Sunday of October (Rosenkranzsonntag - Rosary Sunday). The High Mass in the monastery church, the Rosary prayer before the devotional image »Maria vom guten Rat« (Mary of Good Counsel), and the Marian devotion in the afternoon formed the fixed program framework.

The Archdiocese of Bamberg organizes the festival every year as part of the Marian pilgrimage care in the upper Maintal valley. Despite the parallel use of the monastery complex by the Hanns Seidel Foundation, the monastery church remains reserved for Marian devotion on this date.
