Frau Holle Open Air in Erfurt

This open-air event in Erfurt draws its name from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale "Frau Holle," a German folk figure collected in 1812. The story, also known as "Mother Holle" or "Old Mother Frost," tells of a woman who dwells at the bottom of a well and rewards hard work.

Attendees can expect a day of music and community in an outdoor setting, inspired by the tale's themes of diligence and magic. The event brings together locals and visitors for a summer celebration in the city.

With its roots in Germanic folklore, Frau Holle has been linked to traditions of spinning and weaving, and even to ancient goddess figures. This open air offers a chance to experience a piece of cultural heritage in a lively, modern format.
