Nienburg Asparagus Festival

The asparagus festival will take place again on May 18th, 2025 in the museum garden of the Quaet Faslem House/Asparagus Museum. A varied program is offered - including the new Asparagus Queen/King being crowned.

Nienburg target shooting

The origin of this traditional festival dates back to the end of the 13th century. Every year, vigilante groups and
shooting guilds met in German cities to practice shooting parrots or birds. At the end of the 16th century, these
practice shooting events were declared public festivals.

A letter from 1654 shows that parrot shooting became "target shooting" and that the Monday after St. John's Day
was always set as the date. A silver parrot, the most valuable piece from 1581, still hangs on the "King's Chain" of
the Nienburg Disc King today.
The jacket potato meal also takes place during the festive season and the highlight is the big parade on Monday.

Nienburg's 53nd Old Town Festival will take place from September 25th to 28th, 2025! Over 60 bands, spread

Wine and City festival Gengenbach

The third weekend in September is firmly booked by wine lovers: that's when the Gengenbach Wine and
City Festival is celebrated in the historic old town - with excellent wines, atmospheric music and lots of delicacies.
In 2025 on September 20th and 21th. Wine growing has a long tradition in Gengenbach. Benedictine monks
planted the first vines in Gengenbach over a thousand years ago. And so the foundation stone for viticulture in
Ortenau was laid over 1,130 years ago. Not only did numerous vineyards emerge that still bear witness to this time
today. Wines from this area can be tasted as part of the Gengenbach Wine and City Festival. The old town
continues to provide a unique atmosphere.
