Hayner Burgfest 2025 - Summary of important facts
Background Information
In Dreieichenhain (located between Frankfurt and Darmstadt) one of the last historical cities in the Rhein-Main-Region the Hayner Burgfest is celebrated every year on the 2nd weekend in September. A premium cultural programme, the large medieval market 'Herrenborn', exclusive shows and the unique ambiance of the castle and historical town centre make the Hayner Burgfest one of Germany's most famous medieval events.
Focus
We want every Hayner Burgfest to be different to the one before. Therefore we choose a main subject every year. This year, under the motto ‘Historia Fabula – The Wonderful World of the Middle Ages’, the focus is on creative activities for the youngest visitors and the medieval market ‘Herrenborn’, which
was first mentioned 487 years ago.
Big names will accompany the evening concerts. On Friday, the medieval rock and folk bands ‘Spilldeyvel’ and the legendary ‘Die Streuner’ will perform. With their beautiful melodies and perfect arrangements, both music groups will thrill the crowd. On Saturday, ‘Vermaledeyt’ will return to the stage after a ten-year absence! The absolute highlight of the programme will be the singer-songwriter and frontman of the band Subway to Sally, Eric Fish.
