Annual neighborhood festival on Küperstieg in Tonndorf – stage, club stands, and extensive children's program in the Wandsbek district
Tonndorf is located in the Wandsbek borough, east of Wandsbeker Marktplatz, between Wandsbek and Rahlstedt. With around 14,000 inhabitants, Tonndorf is one of Hamburg's smaller districts – but with its own identity, its own weekly market, and an active club scene. The district is predominantly suburban, with mixed residential buildings from the 1950s to the 1980s, plus an important economic hub around Edmund-Siemers-Allee, home to Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) in its broadcasting center.
"Wir sind Tonndorf" is the annual neighborhood festival, organized by a volunteer neighborhood initiative. The venue is Küperstieg, a central Tonndorf street in the southern part of the district. The format is small and accessible: a stage with local acts (choirs, school bands, dance groups, acoustic musicians), information stands from Tonndorf clubs (sports club, seniors' club, church communities, school support associations, political parties), and food stalls from the district.
A characteristic of the festival is the extensive children's program: bouncy castles, face painting, craft workshops, skill games, and a small stage for children's acts. The Tonndorf children's audience occupies a large part of the area – a typical profile for a small-scale neighborhood festival with a family focus.
The festival emphasizes accessibility (wheelchair-friendly, low-threshold). It is explicitly non-commercial – no sponsor walls, no sales stages, but rather club information and neighborhood interaction. This stance distinguishes "Wir sind Tonndorf" from many other Hamburg neighborhood festivals that explicitly work with sponsor involvement.
Tonndorf is small, the festival is small – but that's precisely what makes it one of Hamburg's most distinctive small-scale formats. In the Wandsbek district, it complements the larger neighborhood events (Wandsbeker Stadtteilfest, Poppenbüttler Sommerfest, Saseler Heimatfest) with a deliberately small format. Within the state of Hamburg, it is one of numerous comparable micro-neighborhood festivals that make volunteer neighborhood life visible.
The 2026 edition is expected to take place on a Saturday afternoon in late summer on Küperstieg. As in previous years, a stage, club information stands, a children's program, and food stalls are planned. Announcements are typically made a few weeks before the date via the Tonndorf neighborhood network and the weekly newspaper for Rahlstedt/Tonndorf.
As usual, the club information stands form the neighborhood backbone of the festival: Tonndorf Sports Club, Seniors' Club, Church Community, School Support Associations, political parties, and neighborhood initiatives. On stage, Tonndorf acts (school choirs, dance groups, acoustic musicians) will perform. The children's program – bouncy castles, face painting, craft workshops – occupies a large part of the area.
Exact date and detailed program: via the Tonndorf neighborhood network and the weekly newspaper Rahlstedt/Tonndorf.
