The Robber Hotzenplotz | Stettenfels Castle Festival

The robber Hotzenplotz steals Grandma's coffee grinder—and Kasperl and Seppel set off in pursuit. With wizards, mysterious toads, and lots of music, the Stettenfels open-air stage becomes a turbulent adventure for the whole family. "The robber's life is a merry one..." echoes through the moat. Robber Hotzenplotz wreaks havoc at the Stettenfels open-air theater and steals Grandma's new coffee grinder. But Kasperl and Seppel rush to the rescue and give chase. However, Hotzenplotz is not so stupid and captures Kasperl and Seppel. He sells Kasperl to the great wizard Petrosilius Zwackelmann. There, the poor fellow has to peel potatoes diligently until one day he discovers a mysterious toad in the castle cellar. Could it be the enchanted fairy Amaryllis? And will Kasperl and Seppel succeed in getting Grandma's coffee grinder back? An exciting open-air production with lots of music and plenty of fun. The popular Stettenfels children's ensemble will also be there again. ### Further information - Premiere: July 11, 2026 - Admission: 30 minutes before the start of the performance at the earliest - Location: Burggraben
