SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Martensmann Festival Rehna
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Traditional city festival with a colorful program=0D=0A=0D=0AOn November 7, Rehna will once again be celebrating: Starting at 2:00=0D=0Ap.m., the focus will once again be on the Lübeck Martensmann, who=0D=0Awill be spending the night in Rehna on his journey from Lübeck to=0D=0ASchwerin. This ancient custom, which connects the two cities and dates=0D=0Aback to the Middle Ages, continues to this day. Back then, the good=0D=0Arelations between the Hanseatic city and the Mecklenburg ducal house=0D=0Awere maintained by delivering a barrel of wine each November. This=0D=0Atradition remained alive well into the 19th century and was not=0D=0Adiscontinued until 1819. The Martensmann, with his carriage and the=0D=0Agifts he distributed—which the children eagerly awaited—remained=0D=0Ain the memories of the people of this region, however, and was=0D=0Arediscovered and revived after 1991; he has been celebrated ever since=0D=0Ain Schönberg, Rehna, and Schwerin.=0D=0A=0D=0AStarting at 2:00 p.m., there will be a colorful program in the=0D=0Amonastery courtyard and at the Deutsches Haus. The district=0D=0Aadministrator of Northwest Mecklenburg, representatives from Rehna’s=0D=0Apartner municipality of Holm, and the mayor of Schönberg are also=0D=0Aexpected to welcome the Martensmann. The afternoon program will=0D=0Afeature, among others, the Rehna Low German Association, the Rehna=0D=0ATrombone Choir, and the children from the Youth Welfare Center. In=0D=0Aaddition to the entertainment program, there will be a small fair=0D=0Abehind the monastery, and music will continue into the night. The 2026=0D=0AMartensmann Festival is sponsored by the Northwest Mecklenburg=0D=0ADistrict.=0D=0A=0D=0ASince 2020, the Martensmann has been part of UNESCO’s Intangible=0D=0ACultural Heritage: Documents dating back to 1520 attest to the=0D=0Adelivery of a barrel of wine from Lübeck to Schwerin by the=0D=0AMartensmann. The custom is a symbol of a vibrant civil society. The=0D=0Arevival of the tradition following the political transition in 1991=0D=0Aand the interest shown by the population in the reunified region=0D=0Ademonstrate the Martensmann’s significance as a historical and=0D=0Acontemporary figure of identification. Since 1991, this cross-state=0D=0Acustom has brought together municipalities and associations from=0D=0ASchleswig-Holstein and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttps://www.unesco.de/kultur-und-natur/immaterielles-kulturerbe/immaterielles-kulturerbe-deutschland/martensmann=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0AFor more information on the history of this traditional event in=0D=0ARehna, please visit the City of Rehna’s website:=0D=0A=0D=0Ahttps://www.stadtrehna.de/tourismus/martensmannfest.html=0D=0A=0D=0A =0D=0A=0D=0AWith the kind support of the Northwest Mecklenburg District.=0D=0A=0D=0A
