history
In the years from 1909 to 1911 the first castle festival took place on the Scherenburg. After the termination, the restart of the Scherenburg Festival was continued in 1989.
From 1990 to 1995 the games were supported and organized by the cabaret “Spessartgrotte” Langenprozelten, in cooperation with the cultural office, since 1993 under the direction of the cultural office of the city of Gemünden and since 1998 by the festival association of the city of Gemünden am Main eV
The acquisition of a grandstand in 2002 and the purchase of a tent roof over the grandstand to protect against rain and sun in 2004 should attract more visitors, which was also successful.
After 15 years, Horst Gurski gave up the artistic direction after the 2015 season. His successor was Peter Cahn , who will take over as artistic director for the first time in summer 2016.
