sun. 17 Oct.

On Sunday October 17, 2021, Schengen celebrates the "Hunnefeier", the end of this year's grape harvest.

The old custom of the “Hunnefeier” comes from the fact that in the past a living rooster was tied to the end of the row of vines to be harvested on the last day of the harvest. THE

he winemaker who was the first to harvest his rank and therefore to have completed his harvest, received this rooster as a reward for his speed. This somewhat barbaric custom has obviously been replaced by a new one: each year a new limited edition of the “Schengener Hinnchen” (Schengen rooster) is designed by a different artist.

A terracotta rooster - an authentic and unique souvenir! Once you have your “Hinnchen” in your pocket, the flea and craft market with over 100 stalls, international street performers, an exhibition of historic tractors and musical entertainment await you. Of course, you can also taste the wines and Crémants, as well as the local “Fiederwäissen” and “Fiederrouden” to get a first idea of the new vintage.
