Schoberfest

About Schoberfest

The Schoberfest in Schlepzig is the traditional harvest and autumn festival of the Spreewald Resort Seinerzeit. On September 13, 2026, the farmyard in the heart of the Lower Spreewald will be transformed into a stage for agriculture, crafts, and Spreewald delicacies. Schober – these are the haystacks traditionally erected in the fields – give the festival its name and its rural, cheerful character. Schlepzig is located in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Spreewald, one of Brandenburg's most impressive cultural landscapes between Berlin and Lusatia.

Schlepzig and the Resort Seinerzeit

Schlepzig is an old Spreewald municipality in the Dahme-Spreewald district, nestled within the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Spreewald. The village lies on the northern edge of the Upper Spreewald, where the small streams and canals transition into more open meadow landscapes. The Spreewald Resort Seinerzeit is one of the defining gastronomic and hotel establishments in the Lower Spreewald – a courtyard resort that combines old farmhouse architecture with modern tourism.

Schoberfest – Harvest and Spreewald

The Schoberfest is the resort's annual harvest and autumn festival. The term Schober, in Sorbian-Lower German usage, refers to the stacked hay or grain piles traditionally erected in the fields before the harvest was brought in – an agricultural symbol that remains culturally present in the Spreewald to this day. The festival picks up on this connection and makes it tangible for guests.
