Mögging Castle Festival

On the last weekend in June, the castle courtyard of the moated castle in Mögging will be the setting for the castle festival, revisiting the legendary open-air performances of the post-war period, the glittering highlight of which was the 1960 production for the 1,200th anniversary celebrations. This tradition was revived with the “Indian Princess” for Möggingen’s 1,250th anniversary celebrations in 2010 and the “Living Chess Spectacle” in 2017 on Möggingen’s village square. Among other things, this year’s play sheds light on the quartering of French officers in the castle, the involvement of individual residents of Mögging in the National Socialist movement, interpersonal conflicts during the occupation and the persistence of right-wing extremist ideas to the present day. However, the title of this year’s play “Albinle the Castle Ghost” suggests that it won’t just be about serious things. In addition to the theater performance, there will be musical entertainment afterwards: the “Alläfänzigä” from Immendingen on June 26 and the band “Sound Kitchen” on June 27. The program is complemented by a children’s afternoon on Saturday, food and drink stands (“Möggingen kocht”) and a castle illumination at the end of each performance.
