Festival area and program

Concerts (2011 Café Jazz ), theater and dance events as well as readings take place during the festival . In addition, residents make their own contributions. The highlight is withdrawing from Loschwitz to Pillnitz parade , which is designed according to the thematic motto. As part of the festival, the Dresden Dragon Boat Festival with races on the Elbe also takes place regularly .

history

The first Elbhangfest took place on June 29 and 30, 1991. The occasion was the reconstruction of the church in Loschwitz , built by George Bähr , and the preservation of the Weinbergkirche in Pillnitz, built by Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann . The festival motto was therefore “From Bähr to Pöppelmann”. For the second Elbhangfest, a year later, a non-profit association was founded to organize the festival. A highlight of the festival in 1993 was the placement of the tower ball of the Loschwitz church.
