Ritterfest

In the organizer's words:

The Mönchengladbach Knights' Festival offers visitors an incomparable journey back in time to the 11th - 13th centuries. A broad program for young and old with merchants, craftsmen and artists provides top-class entertainment. The major highlights of the event include Angespil, Tolstafanz and the play "The Relic Heist". Let yourself be enchanted by our medieval spectacle on Saturday and Sunday.

For little knights and noble ladies
A colorful children's program with exciting archery, a fascinating bird of prey demonstration and a carousel is offered for the little knight fans. The youngest visitors can try their hand at medieval crafts at various activities such as the children's smithy.

Medieval amusement
Our minstrels Narrenkai and the juggler pack provide medieval amusement at various points in the market. Experience the changing venues and the variety of artists. The large medieval market invites you to stroll and marvel at the unique atmosphere with its rich offerings - from fine jewelry to warm felt vests. Basket weavers, wheelwrights, blacksmiths, stonemasons, candle makers, fabric dyers, felt makers and many more give an insight into their craftsmanship and offer their wares for sale.
