Seefelder Dorfhock

The Dreschschopf — Historic Heart of the Festival

The Dreschschopf in Seefelden is the historic site where the village farmers threshed their grain — a tradition lost with the advent of modern agricultural technology, but whose building was preserved as a festival ground. Today, the Dreschschopf is the central meeting point for the Seefelden village community and the natural festival area for the Seefelder Dorfhock. In 2026, the festival runs from Saturday, August 8th to Monday, August 10th.

Club-Run Village Festival

The Seefelder Dorfhock is a classic club-run village festival — supported by the local Seefelden clubs (sports club, heritage society, music club, traditional costume society). At the catering stands at the Dreschschopf, grilled chicken, Swabian-Baden sausages, steaks, 'Vesperteller' with regional cheese and ham, fries, and salads are served. The catering is voluntary — all proceeds go back into club activities and support youth and sports programs.

Markgräfler Wines — The Winemakers' Cooperative

A special feature is the proximity to the Seefelden winemakers' cooperative. On festival days, the cooperative opens its loading station and offers Markgräfler wines for tasting — Müller-Thurgau (also called 'Markgräfler' because of a particularly fresh, mineral variant found here), Gutedel (the distinctive Baden variety), Spätburgunder, Weißburgunder, and sparkling wine. An ideal opportunity to get to know a cross-section of the Markgräfler wine landscape directly at the source.

2026 Programme

The Seefelder Dorfhock is traditionally much more compact than large festivals — which is its charm:

• Saturday, August 8th — Festival opening in the afternoon, live music in the evening (cover band or traditional band), catering until late at night
• Sunday, August 9th — Morning 'Frühschoppen' (early pint) with brass music, lunch menu, family program in the afternoon, quieter evening winding down
• Monday, August 10th — 'Hock' day with a reduced program, club catering, cozy closing

Markgräflerland and Buggingen

Buggingen is a municipality in the Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district, located in the Markgräflerland — the southern foothills strip between the southern Black Forest and the Rhine. The region is Germany's warmest wine-growing area and is accordingly shaped by its culinary offerings. Seefelden is one of the districts of the municipality of Buggingen, alongside Buggingen itself, Betberg, and Seefelden. By car, you can reach the Dreschschopf in 30 minutes from Freiburg, Müllheim, or Bad Krozingen.
