Spritzenfest der Feuerwehr Weiler im Allgäu

Club Festival of the Weiler Fire Brigade

The Spritzenfest is the annual, traditional summer event of the Weiler im Allgäu Volunteer Fire Brigade at the fire station in Weiler. In the market town of Weiler-Simmerberg in the southern Bavarian district of Lindau (Lake Constance), the brigade has a long history – the sister brigade in Simmerberg has existed for over 150 years, and the same applies to the Weiler brigade itself.

Three Days of Festivities

The festival typically runs from Thursday or Friday evening until Sunday, utilizing the fire station with its festival tent, outdoor area, and stalls. From 6 p.m., the extensive food and drink offerings are open – with a focus on the regional brewery Post Brauerei and Siebers Quelle from the Westallgäu region. A dedicated wine bar complements the Alpine beer selection.

Children's Program Around the Fire Truck

Family-friendliness is a declared goal: the brigade's children's program is a distinct part of the schedule. Rides in the fire truck, Bobby car races, and stacking competitions with wooden and water building blocks make the festival a summer highlight for the youngest visitors too.

Weiler Music Band – Since 1815

The Weiler Music Band, a brass orchestra with a long tradition (since 1815), provides the musical accompaniment. They regularly perform at the Spritzenfest, contributing to the festival's Alpine sound.

Weiler-Simmerberg in the Westallgäu

The market town of Weiler-Simmerberg is located in the extreme southwest of Bavaria, in the Lindau (Lake Constance) district, near the border with Austria and Baden-Württemberg. The region is known as 'Westallgäu' and is characterized by tourism – Spritzenfeste and similar club festivals organized by fire brigades, music bands, and sports clubs form the backbone of regional event life in the summer.
