Market feel with Kerwa character
On Saturday from 1 PM, the Burgkerwa begins with a fair atmosphere, food, drink, and plenty of interaction. Sunday initially focuses on a shared church service, before the sellers set up their tables starting at noon and the flea market kicks off at 1 PM. This makes the event especially appealing for visitors who appreciate real finds and personal conversations while browsing.

Flea market, community, and direct encounters
Those who bring their own stand will find an open, accessible environment for antiques, used items, and little treasures. The announcement explicitly mentions rummaging, bargaining, and finding. Additionally, the social character of the event comes into play: on Sunday from 3 PM, conversations with politicians are planned, which gives the Burgkerwa a public forum beyond mere market activities.
