anniversary weekend

The main highlight of the anniversary year in Radolfzell. On Saturday, the traditional Old Town Festival will take place, featuring exciting themed zones and other activities. On Sunday, the focus will be on historical and religious events—including a church service, a procession, and other special activities. This weekend was deliberately chosen because September 13 is historically documented as the anniversary of the death of Bishop Radolf, the city’s founder. Further information on the program: **Anniversary Weekend Saturday, including the Old Town Festival** On the Saturday of the anniversary weekend, the Radolfzell Old Town Festival invites you to experience the historic downtown as a lively gathering place full of music, enjoyment, and a variety of activities.

Whether strolling through the market stalls, browsing the flea markets, romping around on the bouncy castle, or celebrating cheerfully with friends—the Old Town Festival offers the perfect opportunity to spend convivial hours in a unique atmosphere. The festival is complemented by “time travel” stations in the city center and the city garden. There, performers bring Radolfzell’s past eras to life and invite young and old alike to marvel, discover, and join in. **Anniversary Weekend Sunday: New Mass** Sunday of the anniversary weekend is dedicated entirely to history and faith. The day begins solemnly with the premiere of a new Mass at 9:15 a.m. in the cathedral. It has been composed specifically for this location, this special occasion, and for the people who sing, make music, and celebrate worship together here. Afterward, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Time Travel Stations invite you to immerse yourself in the different eras of Radolfzell and experience history up close. In addition, exciting historical activities await you, which will be presented in more detail over the course of the year—let yourself be surprised! **Anniversary Weekend Sunday: Münsterbläser Concert** To conclude the anniversary weekend, the Münsterbauverein is hosting a festive concert of the highest caliber with the Münsterbläser.
