O'zapfen is! Hofgartenfest attracts with music and culinary delights

Eichstätt, Deutschland - On July 10, 2025, the annual court garden festival of the Catholic University of Eichstätt took place after the old town festival. Numerous visitors celebrated the picturesque backdrop of the summer residence, including employees, students, alumni and citizens from Eichstätt and the surrounding area. University Chancellor Eckhard Ulmer opened the festival with the traditional tapping of the first beer barrel, supported by Hofmühl boss Stephan Emslander and the landlord Andreas Kellner and Florian Maurer. The festival was not only the sociable get -together, but also the exchange and enjoyment of summer, as reported [ku.de].

From 6:00 p.m., the varied program started with a children's program and musical performances by the student bands. The stage was occupied with a colorful mix of talents from the music department, which delighted the guests with their sounds. From 8:00 p.m. it got really exciting when the award ceremony of the President Cup took place, followed by the appearance of the popular Rock Coverband Sin Decade, which fought the mood until late in the evening.

Culinary diversity for every taste

Another highlight of the evening was the broad culinary offer. In the stands in the Hofgarten and Brunnenhof, visitors were able to enjoy a tasty selection, which ranged from Thai dishes to juicy steaks and sausages to pizza and tarte flambée. The little guests were also taken care of: a children's program ensured that the young visitors got their money's worth.

The Hofgartenfest has developed into one of the most popular events in the region over the years.
