Hooray, I can already drive a tractor...
The Matheisemarkt in Schriesheim is a traditional wine and spring festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Baden Bergstraße near Heidelberg every year in early March (lasting up to 10 days). It is considered the first major folk festival in the region, featuring rides, festival tents, and a parade. At the beginning, the Wine Queen and the two princesses lead the parade. Flag wavers, trumpeters, and drummers follow behind them. Many local winegrowers also drive between the various fanfare bands with their sometimes very old tractors. Since the weather was kind to us, the parade and the subsequent fair visit remain fond memories.' role="button">

The photo shows a little boy sitting on his proud father's lap, holding the steering wheel of a tractor. His facial expression says it all. His sister (on the right) looks at her brother somewhat incredulously, while the other sister is more interested in the spectators along the roadside.The Matheisemarkt in Schriesheim is a traditional wine and spring festival that attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the Baden Bergstraße near Heidelberg every year in early March (lasting up to 10 days).

Der Gesichtsausdruck spricht für sich. Seine Schwester (rechte Seite) schaut etwas ungläubig auf ihren Bruder, während die andere Schwester sich lieber für die Zuschauer am Straßenrand interessiert.
Der Matheisemarkt in Schriesheim ist ein traditionelles Wein- und Frühlingsfest, das jährlich Anfang März (bis 10 Tage ) hunderttausende Besucher an die badischen Bergstraße bei Heidelberg lockt. Es gilt als das erste große Volksfest der Region mit Fahrgeschäften, Festzelten und Festumzug. Am Anfang führt die Weinkönigin und die beiden Prinzessinnen den Festzug an. Fahnenschwenker, Trompeter und Trommler folgen ihnen hinterher. Viele Weinbauern aus der Region fahren zudem zwischen den verschiedenen Fanfarenzügen mit ihren teilweise sehr alten Traktoren mit. Da der Wettergott uns gnädig war, blieb uns der Umzug und der anschließende Kirmesbesuch in guter Erinnerung.
