About Siegelsdorf Kärwa

The Siegelsdorf Kirchweih (Siegelsdorf Kärwa) is the traditional Kärwa of the Veitsbronn district of Siegelsdorf — a Franconian Kirchweih at the beginning of May in the district of Fürth. For three days, the village life is shaped by the traditional concert in the village square, the ceremonial tapping of the beer keg, an amusement park for children and adults, and the convivial togetherness of the Kirchweihburschen Veitsbronn (KWB). One of the earliest Kärwas in the Franconian spring calendar.

Tip

A Kärwa to Kick Off May

While most Franconian Kärwas fall in the summer or autumn, the Siegelsdorf Kirchweih traditionally opens the Kärwa calendar — right at the beginning of May. This makes it one of the earliest Kirchweih festivals in the district of Fürth and in all of Middle Franconia. The organizers are the Kirchweihburschen Veitsbronn (KWB), who actively pass on the customs.

The Program in the Village Square

Opening with Traditional Concert in Siegelsdorf village square — brass music from the local band sets the mood for the festival
Beer Tapping: The mayor or a representative of the municipality of Veitsbronn taps the first keg
Amusement Park with rides and shooting galleries for young and old

Kärwa Customs: In the Franconian style with Kärwa tree, dancing, and a communal festival atmosphere

Siegelsdorf in the District of Fürth

Siegelsdorf is a district of the Middle Franconian municipality of Veitsbronn, west of Fürth, nestled in the Zenngrund — the fertile Zenn valley between Neustadt an der Aisch and Fürth. Veitsbronn belongs to the Zenngrund alliance and is part of the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region.

More Than Just a Club Commitment

The Siegelsdorf Kärwa is supported by a broad village alliance: the Kirchweihburschen Veitsbronn (KWB) as the main organizer, the municipality of Veitsbronn, local clubs and parties (the SPD Veitsbronn-Siegelsdorf also traditionally gets involved). The festival is an anchor of identity for the district and one of the social highlights in the Veitsbronn annual calendar.
