Worpswede — the Artist Village in the Teufelsmoor
Worpswede is known worldwide as an artist village. As early as the late 19th century, Paula Modersohn-Becker, Fritz Mackensen, Otto Modersohn, Hans am Ende, Heinrich Vogeler, and others settled in the Teufelsmoor, creating an artists' colony of international importance. The May Market fits into this cultural tradition: it is not only a village May market but also a venue for artistic and musical encounters.
Around 40 Stalls at the Village Square and on Bergstraße
The market extends from the village square along Bergstraße. Around 40 stalls offer regional specialties from the Teufelsmoor, arts and crafts, plants, books, honey, cheese, sausages, and May punch (Maibowle). The mix of market, culinary delights, and artistic flair is the strength of the event.
Live Music, Hobbyhorsing, and Käseglocke Singing
On stage, The Grand Ole Carpets will perform Americana and folk music, and Florian Müller will present music for children. The PonyClub Hüttenbusch offers hobbyhorsing, a modern sport with stick horses. At the famous Käseglocke, designed by architect Bruno Taut, communal singing begins at 11:30 AM — a hallmark of the Worpswede May Market. The festival is accessible via bus line 670 and the historic Moorexpress.
