Wiesnkirwa Siegenhofen: Faith, Tradition, and Community in Vilstal
The Wiesnkirwa in Siegenhofen connects religious tradition, lived village community, and an atmosphere of true connection. On Sunday, September 13, 2026, the festival begins at 10:30 AM in the surroundings of the pilgrimage church Maria Hilf and the Kollerstodl. The church consecration Sunday has traditionally been a celebration of the patronage after the Nativity of Mary and shapes the spiritual life of the place.

A Festival with a Spiritual Core
The focus is on the Catholic liturgy in the pilgrimage church Maria Hilf. The festive service is an expression of gratitude, devotion, and lived spirituality. The parish Rieden describes the church as a historical pilgrimage site; the main festival is still celebrated on the Sunday after the Nativity of Mary.

Music, Snacks, and Warm Togetherness
After the service, the fire department Rieden invites everyone to a breakfast in the festival tent next to the Kollerstodl. Brass band, lunch, cake buffet, and musical contributions in the afternoon create a lively experience of faith with down-to-earth traditions. The event is considered family-friendly, cozy, and homey.

A Place with History and Special Charm
The pilgrimage church Maria Hilf is one of the defining religious sites in Siegenhofen. Its history goes back a long way; the current building was constructed in 1723 on older foundations. This creates a space for visitors between the church environment, regional history, and communal celebration.
