World of families

Fun, games and adven­ture for young and old

To mark the 500th anniversary of Luther­’s wed­ding, a magic­al world for the whole fam­ily awaits you in Luth­er­stadt Wit­ten­berg. In Wall­straße, the neigh­bour­hood is trans­formed into a lively play street that delights chil­dren and adults with numer­ous activ­it­ies dur­ing the day. At dusk, a mys­ter­i­ous adven­ture trail is cre­ated here — a place where even a fire-breath­ing dragon is said to be up to mischief!

From the mar­ket square to the castle, the trail leads through his­tor­ic court­yards such as the Cranach-Hof and the Weber­hof. There are excit­ing attrac­tions every­where: Craft stalls, board games, a lov­ingly designed crank carou­sel, a knight’s castle, a fairytale tent, a water play mobile and wood carvings await young adven­tur­ers. Chil­dren can also be trans­formed into ima­gin­at­ive fig­ures with face painting.

Magic­al creatures such as fair­ies and forest spir­its await you, while a uni­corn rider, dan­cing bears, a stub­born don­key and a rolling horse provide magic­al moments. In the Weber­hof, the pop­u­lar hot tub awaits all those in need of a refresh­ing break.

Out­side the fest­iv­al grounds, the Arsen­al­platz awaits you with the scent of candy floss and pop­corn in the air. Here you will find fair­ground rides, a lot­tery booth and the high­light of the day: who can hit the highest shot at the Hau den Lukas’?


A very spe­cial high­light of the fest­iv­al is the his­tor­ic­al chil­dren’s parade on Sunday, in which 400 chil­dren from Wit­ten­berg clubs and schools parade through the streets. The parade starts at 11 a.m. and ends on the mar­ket square.
