anniversary weekend

The main highlight of the anniversary year in Radolfzell. On Saturday, the traditional Old Town Festival takes place, complemented by exciting themed zones and other activities. On Sunday, the focus is on historical and religious events—including a church service, a procession, and other special activities. The weekend was deliberately chosen because September 13 is historically documented as the anniversary of the death of Bishop Radolf, the city’s founder.
