On Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Apple Market of the Bamberg district invites you to Schönbrunn i. Steigerwald.

Regional Diversity with a Strong Traditional Fruit Focus

The Apple Market showcases what makes the Bamberg Genussregion special: fresh fruit from untreated traditional orchards, juice, fruit spreads, and other products from the local area. There are also culinary specialties from local associations and an offer that invites visitors to taste and linger. The mixture of producers, fruit and horticultural associations, and committed hosts creates an authentic shopping experience with a true regional touch.

Diversity of Varieties Not Found in Supermarkets

A particular attraction of the Apple Market lies in the large fruit display and the variety of apple and pear types. The association points to old varieties that have become rare in everyday life, and to the expert identification of brought fruits by a fruit expert. Thus, the market becomes not only a shopping place but also a meeting point for people interested in traditional fruits, gardening culture, and regional food.

Craftsmanship, Artisan Crafts, and Interactive Moments

In addition to fruits and enjoyment, traditional craftsmanship and artisan crafts shape the image of the Apple Market. Potters, coopers, turners, stonemasons, and basket weavers showcase their skills and make regional craftsmanship visible. The market event is complemented by a children’s program with interactive activities that promote movement, curiosity, and a good atmosphere. The market atmosphere thrives on colors, scents, and brief encounters at the stalls.
