Traditional Frankenwald Kärwa in Teuschnitz with TSV Teuschnitz's Kärwa Saturday
The Kärwa – the dialect form of Kirchweih in the Frankenwald – has been a fixed part of the annual calendar in Teuschnitz for generations. It is celebrated in October and is supported by the local sports club TSV Teuschnitz with the traditional Kärwa Saturday. This combines the church's patron saint's day with vibrant club life.
The highlight is TSV Teuschnitz's Kärwa Saturday: The club invites you to music, dancing, and Franconian hospitality. In previous years, the day began with a football match in the afternoon, followed by the Kärwa celebration in the evening. Hearty delicacies, cool beer, and a convivial atmosphere make the evening a meeting point for young and old.
The Teuschnitz Kärwa is a prime example of the vibrant Kirchweih tradition in Upper Franconia. It fosters community, preserves regional customs, and brings together former and current residents. The commitment of TSV and other clubs ensures the festival's continuation.
The town of Teuschnitz is located in the Frankenwald in the district of Kronach in the state of Bavaria, near the border with Thuringia. This wooded low mountain range region is home to numerous traditional events – the Kärwa is one of the most important in the town's annual calendar.
For 2026, the Teuschnitz Kärwa is scheduled for October, as every year. Since Kärwa Saturday traditionally falls on the third Saturday in October (2024: Oct 19, 2025: Oct 18), the celebration is expected for the weekend of October 17.
