About Wittlich City Breakfast

The Wittlich City Breakfast transforms Wittlich's market square into a large open dining room for a Saturday morning in August. Wittlich residents, clubs, neighborhoods, and guests of the Säubrennerstadt gather for a communal breakfast under the open sky at long white tables, using their own chairs or rented benches. Participants bring their own bread, rolls, spreads, and coffee, or buy them at breakfast stands around the square. Live music, short speeches by the mayor, and a family program frame the morning, which transitions into a relaxed Saturday in the city center.

A Breakfast for the Whole City

The "City Breakfast" format has become a model in many medium-sized and larger German cities in recent years: The city provides tables, tablecloths, and crockery, and the citizens bring their own breakfast to meet for a communal meal at long tables in a central square. Wittlich hosts this event on the historic market square in front of the old town hall.

Long Tables on the Market Square

On Saturday morning, starting around 9:00 AM, the long tables begin to be set up. Clubs, neighborhoods, groups of friends, and families reserve spots at the long tables, which are arranged in several rows across the market square. Some bring everything themselves – from picnic baskets to thermos flasks – while others buy rolls, croissants, spreads, and coffee at the breakfast stands around the square, set up by Wittlich's restaurants and bakeries.

Music, City Life, and Encounters

A stage with live music – usually jazz, acoustic pop, or singer-songwriters – provides the musical accompaniment. The mayor or city representatives give short welcome speeches, and some clubs present their work. For children, there are craft activities, face painting, or a small accompanying program. Those who have finished breakfast can then go shopping in Wittlich's city center, stroll through the old town, or continue their day at a café.
