Stadtfest Germering

City festival at Therese-Giehse-Platz

Therese-Giehse-Platz is Germering's municipal festival grounds, named after the renowned Munich actress Therese Giehse (1898-1975). During the city festival, stages are erected here, gastronomic stands are set up, and the square becomes the social center of the town. Its central location makes the city festival accessible to residents from all districts.

Clubs, Gastronomy, and Live Music

The program consists of three pillars: performances and stands from local clubs (sports, music, cultural associations), gastronomic stands with regional and international specialties, and live music on Friday and Saturday evenings. The musical mix ranges from rock and pop to Franconian folk music and world music, reflecting the diversity of Germering's population.

Inclusive, Multicultural Festival

The self-image as an »inclusive and multicultural city festival« is a hallmark of the Germering city festival. Clubs from migrant communities, inclusive sports groups, and senior and youth groups actively participate. This social breadth distinguishes the city festival from purely folkloristic or purely cultural Volksfeste.

Germering and Munich's West

Germering is located about 20 km west of Munich in the district of Fürstenfeldbruck and is the largest town in the district with about 40,000 inhabitants. As a commuter town in the Munich metropolitan area's commuter belt, Germering is culturally diverse and socially mixed — the city festival consciously reflects and makes this reality tangible.
