Heat wave disrupts knight's tournament in Katzenelnbogen - good mood remains!
In Katzenelnbogen, people were looking forward to the traditional knight games this summer. The knights' tournament took place on June 29, 2025, which not only thrilled with exciting fights, but also with historical stories. But the high temperatures, described as “crisp,” presented organizers with unexpected challenges. Despite technical problems with the sound equipment, which were probably due to the heat, the actors were not discouraged. They improvised and shouted loudly to maintain the atmosphere on the tournament ground. Rhein-Zeitung reports that the atmosphere was still excellent and both participants and spectators had great fun.
The Catzenelnbogen knight games are an integral part of the region and offer a unique medieval experience. In addition to the fights, there was also an extensive supporting program. Educational falconry demonstrations captivated visitors, while camp groups presented life in the Middle Ages. Anyone who wanted to take an active part could prove themselves in hands-on activities such as archery and sword fighting. The old crafts were also impressively demonstrated, which stadt-katzenelnbogen.de highlighted as the highlight of the event.
