Sangerhausen – Kobermännchen Festival 2027
What to expect
Kobermännchenfest 2027: Kobermännchenfest 2027 takes place in Sangerhausen from 3 to 5 September. The organising media company Heck has already announced these dates in a call for showmen for the 31 edition. As usual, the old town becomes the festival area, with stages, traders and showmen. The full line-up of rides and music programme have not yet been published.
Kobermännchenfest 2027 in Sangerhausen's old town
The first weekend in September is regularly marked by Kobermännchenfest in Sangerhausen. The festival route runs through several streets and squares in the town centre. In 2026, these included Marktplatz, Göpenstraße, Kylische Straße and Roseninsel. The complete site layout for 2027 has not yet been published. So for now, use the central market square as a reference point for your visit.
Showmen and rides at Kobermännchenfest 2027
A specific call for applications from the organisers is already available for the upcoming edition. It is still seeking a Ferris wheel, market stalls and food and drink vendors. It also says that spaces for other rides have already been allocated. However, the advert does not give a full list of the attractions that have actually been confirmed. We therefore do not list a specific Ferris wheel as a confirmed attraction. The line-up of rides can be updated once the showmen are named.
Stage programme and music
Several stages bring music and entertainment to the town centre. For 2027, the organising media company mentions four stages. In edition 2026, various bands and DJs provided a varied programme. However, the performers for the new edition have not yet been announced. So names from the previous year are not being carried over. Events organised by local clubs may also be added to the new programme later.
The story of the Kobermännchen
The name of the fair comes from a legendary figure. Since 1996, it has given its name to the large old town festival. The Kobermännchen's tour through the festival area is also one of its best-known traditions. After edition 2026, the town of Sangerhausen gave special prominence to Straße der Vereine. There, many local initiatives spoke with visitors. The time of any such activities for 2027 has not yet been announced.
Date and admission 2027
The 31 edition is announced for Friday, 3 September, to Sunday, 5 September 2027. This falls on the traditional first weekend in September. Under the existing model, entry to the public town-centre festival is free; rides and food and drink cost extra. Detailed daily opening times have not yet been published. For now, we are showing only the confirmed calendar dates, without inventing an MEC timetable.
