100 Years of Music in the Ries

The Musikverein Ederheim e.V. was founded in 1925, making it one of the most traditional brass bands in the Nördlinger Ries. In 2025, the club celebrated its 100th anniversary with the 33rd District Music Festival of the Allgäu-Schwäbischer Musikbund. The annual Sommerfest is a fixed date in the club's calendar.

Club Festival in the Ries

Ederheim is a small village in the Swabian municipality of Ederheim (Donau-Ries), nestled in the impressive landscape of the Nördlinger Ries – the 15-million-year-old meteorite impact crater, now a UNESCO Geopark cultural landscape. Here, the music club is more than just an association – it's an anchor of village life, with a main band, youth groups, and an active community of musicians.

The Program

The Sommerfest traditionally spans two days – Saturday evening features a ceremony with brass band music and catering, Sunday offers a morning pint (Frühschoppen) with guest bands. Swabian and Franconian specialties are served: sausages (Bratwürste), pork knuckle (Schäufele), Maultaschen (Swabian ravioli), accompanied by draft beer and apple juice. The club's main band performs its own concerts, and youth groups also perform.

Embedded in the Club Calendar

The Sommerfest is part of a busy annual program: January volunteer party, April competition in Mönchsdeggingen, May to July numerous parade participations and performances in the region, September District Music Festival and Musicians' Church Service in Ederheim, December year-end concert. The Sommerfest in the middle is the club's own highlight – the festival the club organizes for itself and its friends.

Discover the Ries
