Why Nurembergers Were Banned from Fürth & Other Kirchweih Stories

The Michaelis-Kirchweih is considered the most important event in Fürth's calendar - part folk fair, part market, over 900 years old and known well beyond the region as "Fädder Kärwa".

This guided tour traces the historical origins of the "queen of Franconian Kirchweih festivals" and recounts the curiosities surrounding the celebration - including the story of why the council of the imperial city of Nuremberg once tried to simply ban its citizens from attending the Fürth Kirchweih.
