Soup festival in Lörrach: A feast of community and tradition!

Who beats the heart for neighborhood, you got his money's worth at the soup festival in the Homburg settlement on July 13, 2025. With a colorful program and an extensive culinary offer, the residents gathered at “Lindenplatz” to meet and celebrate each other. The event was organized for the first time under the direction of a new seven board team of the settler community after the long -time chairman Jörg Lievert, who was in office for 35 years, recently resigned. Mayor Jörg Lutz visited the festival in his function and was the most prominent guest of the celebrations that stretched throughout the day.

A look at the extensive range of food shows that there was something for every taste: from 400 sausages and 160 steaks over 180 kg of fries fries to 500 liters of beer and non -alcoholic drinks. The traditional vegetable soups - both with beef and in a vegetarian version - and the 35 homemade cakes, which contributed to the success of the event, were particularly outstanding - both with beef and in a vegetarian variant.

a successful organization

At the organization of the soup festival, there were some innovations that optimized the process. For practical reasons, visitors had to buy Wertbons at the cash register before eating, while the waitresses did not accept cash. The kitchen area had been strategically moved back to create more space for the guests. In addition, one could donate to the Maltese children's and youth hospice, which gave the festival a good cause and the community an additional feeling of solidarity.

The musical entertainment dared to take the balancing act between tradition and modernity. The guests were able to celebrate extensively with a Dixieland band that appeared under the name "Geifersepp & Thä Schtüehlgang Stompers", while the Wollbach singing club and a DJ rounded off the musical framework on Sunday. Also a service, traditionally held in the settler tent by Ernst Volz, was part of the festival program and set a contemplative accent at the end of the celebrations.
