The Hutzelkirmes is a folk festival in the Schwalmstadt district of Treysa. The fair was first held in 1946 and has meanwhile been one of the largest folk festivals in the Schwalm, with several thousand visitors . Until 2014 it took place every year on the second weekend in August. The 69th Hutzelkirmes originally planned for 2015 was canceled due to a lack of visitor interest and was not revived in 2016 either. In 2017, the fair was finally celebrated again with a new organizational team and a different procedure.

procedure

The fair started traditionally on the Wednesday before the fair weekend with a rehearsal dance at the Church of the Dead . The parade of the fair boys and the official opening on the market square in Treysa followed on Friday. The pageant on Sunday afternoon was the highlight of the event. In the new edition 2017, instead of the rehearsal dance and parade, a rock concert with two live bands was held.

An integral part of the fair is still a fairground and a marquee on the fairground in Lehmenkaute as well as a fireworks display, which is ignited on the evening of the fair Saturday.

Origin of name

The name of the Hutzelkirmes goes back to an incident in the 14th century: Treysa had to organize a fair for him at short notice and unexpectedly at the behest of Count von Ziegenhain . The only musicians' guild available at the time, however, had already been ordered to dance music from the neighboring town of Ziegenhain on these days. At the request of the Treysa city fathers, Ziegenhain renounced his dance music, but demanded in return that any fair celebration in Treysa be waived for the next 99 years. As a replacement for the failed fair, the people of Treysa received a Meat (approx. 10 liters) full of Hutzeln (dried fruit, mostly pears) every year from now on . In addition, the Treysa visitors to the Ziegenhainer fair were treated to a pot of wine.
