Sommernachtsfest FFW Hitzhofen — edition 2026

The 2026 Sommernachtsfest of the Hitzhofen-Oberzell Volunteer Fire Brigade will take place on Saturday, August 22nd, at the fire station. The brigade has officially announced the date in its 2026 club calendar — alongside the general meeting on April 18th and the performance test in September, it's the main event of the summer. Marquee atmosphere, Bavarian catering with sausages, chicken, and fish on a stick, draft beer, live music. Free admission.

The 2026 edition follows the classic format. Setup begins in the afternoon, the official festival starts in the late afternoon with catering, and the musical program runs into the night. The FFW Hitzhofen-Oberzell organizes everything themselves — from setup and catering to dismantling on Sunday.

Proceeds go to the club fund and support purchases for the active brigade as well as youth work. Visitors from Eichstätt, Ingolstadt, or the Altmühltal will find a relaxed Saturday evening in a village atmosphere — away from the tourist crowds of the Altmühltal town of Eichstätt.

Main Summer Festival of Club Life

The Hitzhofen-Oberzell Volunteer Fire Brigade is one of the active brigades in the Eichstätt district and shapes the social life of the small village of Hitzhofen with its events. In the official club calendar 2026, the Sommernachtsfest on August 22nd is listed as the central date, alongside the general meeting in April and the performance test in September — a testament to the festival's importance in club life.

Festival Atmosphere at the Fire Station

The venue is the fire station of the FFW Hitzhofen-Oberzell. A marquee or covered catering area is set up outdoors, with several beer tables and benches inviting guests to linger. The festival begins in the late afternoon with catering and develops into a musical highlight in the evening — with a live band or DJ depending on the year.

Catering — Bavarian Classics

The menu features the usual classics of Bavarian club festivals: sausages from an open grill, half chickens, fish on a stick (Steckerlfisch), pork knuckle (Schweinshaxe), potato salad, fries, accompanied by draft beer from a regional brewery, mixed wine spritzer (Schorle), non-alcoholic drinks, and homemade cakes. Catering is handled entirely by club members; this gives the festival its family character.

Hitzhofen — Small Village in the Altmühltal

Hitzhofen is a municipality in the Eichstätt district of Upper Bavaria, located in the southern Altmühltal, about 10 km north of Eichstätt. With around 1,300 inhabitants, it is one of the smaller municipalities in the region. Oberzell is a district of Hitzhofen; both villages are served by the joint Hitzhofen-Oberzell fire brigade. Its rural location between Eichstätt and Ingolstadt makes the Sommernachtsfest a typical event of Upper Bavarian club culture — away from the tourist crowds, but with vibrant club life.
