A Glance Back
Die Ursprünge des heutigen Wurstmarkts liegen in den mittelalterlichen Wallfahrten zum St. Michaelsberg mit seiner, seit der Mitte des 12. Jh. bestehenden, Wallfahrtskapelle. Die Wallfahrten wurden immer am 29. September, dem Namenstag des Heiligen Michael, abgehalten.

The market becomes a festival and the Sausage Fair
While traders such as potters, coopers, crockery traders and small traders were becoming less important, the demand for entertainment was steadily growing. In 1830, there was a circus, fire-eaters, puppet shows, a riding school, other fairground entertainers, and numerous musicians.
further Infotmation
A lot of us still remember these times (in fragments?). But do you also remember the Sausage Fair? If you are 40 now, back then you were 10 – childhood memories. If you are 50 now, you were 20 back then – wild times?
