Ransbach's Kirwa: A festival under Linden that inspires!

Ransbach, Deutschland - The Ransbacher Kirwa took place this year under a shady leaf roof of linden trees. How the Mittelbayerische The Kirwabaum, festively adorned with white and blue garlands, a real eye-catcher in the traditional place. The festival took place in the historic Stadl of Dieter Winter, which offered a pleasant coolness and a rustic beer garden character with his building.

As it is in the tradition of the Ransbacher Kirwa, Sunday began with a solemn service in the St. Peter branch church. It became particularly exciting for dancing: Due to the summer temperatures, the ceremonial ceremony was quickly laid in the cool shadows of the linden trees. The group "Roum-Bouam" provided the musical accompaniment of the Kirwat dances.

Kirwa with tradition and renewal

for Leonie Schießl and Patrick Hollweck, the Kirwapaare of the past year, there is reason to be happy: they extend their commitment for another year and thank a Kirwa Schnoderhüppfl at Dieter Winter. Another highlight was the raffle of the Kirwabaum, which Vinzenz was able to win, while the parish pairs from Pfaffenhofen drove home with their Kirwabaum. The hope of being able to hold the Ransbacher Dorfkirchweih in the Stadl again next year remains alive.

The festivities begin on the first weekend in September, and as the Niederbayerische , a traditional meeting is already planned for the assembly and conversion of the festival tent on the Sunday before the Kirwa.
