Uwerhauser Bürgerkerb Oberhausen

Heimat- und Kulturverein as Organizer

Behind the Bürgerkerb is the Heimat- und Kulturverein Oberhausen, one of those dedicated local associations that shape community life in the villages of the Kirner Land. The association works year-round on maintaining the village appearance, documenting local history, and organizing cultural events – the Bürgerkerb is its flagship.

The Mehrgenerationenplatz – The Heart of the Village

The Mehrgenerationenplatz in the center of Oberhausen was created with the aim of providing a meeting place for all age groups. Play equipment for children, seating areas, and shade trees make it a popular meeting point even outside of festival days. During the Bürgerkerb, it is used with a beer tent, food stalls, a stage, and a dance floor.

Program Between Saturday Evening and Sunday Evening

The Kerb starts on Saturday at 4 PM with setup, followed by the official start of the festival with a welcome address by the association chairman and the local mayor. In the evening, a dance band or DJ provides the atmosphere, Sunday morning begins with Frühschoppen (morning pint) and brass music, the afternoon brings coffee, cake, and activities for children, until the festival winds down at 6 PM.

Oberhausen in the Kirner Land

Oberhausen (postal code 55743) is one of the northern municipalities of the VG Kirner Land, on the edge of the Hunsrück and near the Soonwald heights. With around 250 inhabitants, it is one of the smaller communities that have preserved their village identity and club traditions to this day. Its location between streams, meadows, and forests makes it an ideal destination for a convivial day trip.
