Spring Highlight in the Rotenburg District
The Rotenburg Spring Fair traditionally marks the start of the Volksfest (popular festival) season in the district town. Together with the Autumn Fair in October, it forms the festive backbone of the Rotenburg showman calendar. For three days, families from Rotenburg and the entire Samtgemeinde (collective municipality) flock to the festival grounds at Lohmarkt and Birkenweg to experience carousels, rides, food stalls, and game booths.
Modern Rides for Adrenaline Fans
Showmen from all over Northern Germany bring a colorful mix of classics and new attractions every year. In 2026, the Hip Hop Jumper, Polyp, Shaker, and Top In are among those announced. The fast-paced rides are aimed at teenagers and the young at heart, while gentler carousels and children's rides offer the youngest visitors their first fairground experience.
Food, Sweets, and Sociable Atmosphere
Between the rides, food stalls line up offering bratwurst, fried dough pastries, crêpes, candied almonds, cotton candy, and gingerbread hearts. Beer, mulled wine on cooler spring nights, and cocktails complement the gastronomic offerings. The atmosphere at Lohmarkt and Birkenweg is sociable and familial: you meet neighbors, school friends, and club colleagues between the booths.
History of the Rotenburg Funfair
Fairs have been part of Rotenburg's town life for centuries. The Spring and Autumn Fairs evolved from historical market days and developed into pure amusement events in the 20th century. The town administration organizes the event in cooperation with the South German Showmen's Association and regional festival hosts.
Family-Friendly Setting
The Spring Fair is explicitly aimed at families. Children's carousels, candy stalls, throwing and shooting galleries with small prizes, and a manageable festival area ensure that even younger visitors can explore the fair independently. The festival grounds are well-lit and monitored by the town's public order office.
