Traditional Community Schlachtfest in Mühlhausen
The Schlachtfest of the Music Association "Frei-Weg" is one of the most traditional district festivals in Stuttgart-Mühlhausen. Every September, the district gathers in the Turn- und Versammlungshalle at Arnoldstr. 10 (70378 Stuttgart-Mühlhausen) for the big community festival with culinary and musical tradition. Admission is free, and the date for 2026 will be published on the association's website before the festival.
Schlachtplatten, Schnitzel, and Swabian Classics
The Schlachtfest owes its name to the classic Schlachtplatten: blood sausage, liver sausage, Kesselfleisch (boiled pork), and coleslaw — a German folk food tradition that is increasingly rare in this concentrated form. In addition, there are Schnitzel, Eisbein with sauerkraut, Swabian Maultaschen, and stuffed Swabian meatloaf. In autumn, new wines and onion cakes from the season are added.
Hüttengaudi on Saturday Evening
The musical highlight is the Hüttengaudi on Saturday evening: alpine folk music (Schuhplattler, Polka, Waltz), DJ with hits from Schlager and Volksrock, plus traditional costumes (Dirndl and Lederhosen). The members of the Music Association "Frei-Weg" and regional brass bands shape the program. Those who enjoy dancing will have opportunities all evening — a homage to alpine hut culture in the heart of Stuttgart.
Sunday with Service and Frühshoppen
Sunday begins at 10:30 AM with a Swabian-ecumenical family service in the hall. This is followed by Frühshoppen with regional brass bands and the continuation of the program until the early evening. Children's activities complement the family offerings.
