Spring market in Eschenrod: Despite the rain, a feast for the senses!
The regional spring market of the Eschenröder rural women took place last Sunday, which attracted many visitors despite adverse weather conditions with a cool, rainy and foggy climate. As the Frankfurter Neue Presse reported that at the beginning of the market, barns and garages had to be opened as weatherproof retreats.
The spring market in Eschenrod has its origins in a village flea market that took place two years ago in bright sunshine. In a multi-generational house (MGH), which previously served as emergency accommodation for refugees, providers were able to offer natural cosmetics, decorative items, floristry and jewelry. Particularly noteworthy was the beekeeper Willi Zinnel, who provided information about bees and sold honey products.
Entertaining supporting program
A varied entertainment program ensured additional flows of visitors, especially parents and grandparents. Performances by the dance groups “Little Rainbows” and “Rainbow Dancers” were very well received. In addition, the Schötter youth group raised the mood with another dance. A large buffet with homemade cakes was very popular, and the country women presented a walk-in cookbook with recipes for savory and sweet dishes.
Despite the initially poor weather, the number of visitors outdoors increased over the course of the day and the chairwoman of the rural women, Nicole Wirth, was completely satisfied with how the market went. The entire market was organized by around 20 active women from the rural women's association and male helpers.
Spring markets in the region
While spring was ushering in in Eschenrod, the traditional feel-good Easter spring market in Trittau also opened its doors a week before Easter. The event took place on March 25th and 26th in the historic watermill. Around 100 exhibitors presented their works there, including artists, craftsmen, florists and specialty food vendors. The Artisan markets website lists further details about the exhibitors and the products on offer.
Market visitors could look forward to a wide range: from pastel and acrylic paintings to modern North German art to handcrafted products and a variety of culinary delicacies. These include wood-fired specialties, flame cakes and homemade ice cream.
Markets are very popular not only in Germany, but also in Switzerland. The Website Freizeit.ch describes the large spring markets, which are often decorated with colorful Easter eggs and blooming spring flowers. Events such as the Easter egg market in Gerlafingen or the Waldenburg spring market are on the agenda and show the diversity of the markets, which consist of handicrafts, culinary delights and signs of spring.
The different markets in the region and beyond testify to the vitality and creative work of the vendors, who will once again be able to attract numerous visitors this year.
