Festivals in Kleinlangheim

Every year on October 3, products from local farms and direct sellers are offered in the historic fortified church. This event has a regular place on the annual calendar. At the church fair on the first weekend in November, local young people take part in the excavation, the church fair procession and the church fair sermon, bringing plenty of wit and humor. The two events therefore differ both in their dates and in their themes.

The wine festival is also part of Kleinlangheim’s festival tradition, with a history stretching back almost 50 years. Those interested in the town’s cultural life will find not only the two events with clearly set dates, but also another long-established festival tradition.

Fortified Church, Church and Bells

The Protestant parish church is located within the restored fortified church complex. Its founding is dated to around 630 AD, while large parts of the complex date from the 11th and 12th centuries. These different dates give an impression of the ensemble’s long history without equating the church’s founding with the construction period of the complex.

The two bells offer some distinctive details. The richly decorated Eleven O’Clock Bell is 85 cm tall and was made in Nuremberg in 1424 by “magister petrus.” The Twelve O’Clock Bell is 136 cm tall; its upper edge is adorned with a crenellation and tracery frieze. Its Latin inscription is one of the details associated with its casting in 1491. Together, the bells show how age, dimensions and design can vary within a single architectural ensemble.
