Quick answer
Frühjahrsdult Landshut is a volksfest in Landshut, Bavaria. It runs from Apr 17–26, 2026. Spring Dult on the Grieserwiese — beer tents, rides, and Verkaufsdult under the Altstadt skyline.
Landshut's spring Dult on the Grieserwiese — tents, rides, and market stalls beneath the Isar old town.
The Frühjahrsdult is Landshut's spring folk fair: a Vergnügungsdult with Festzelte and rides plus a Verkaufsdult market on the Grieserwiese. Opening follows the classic pattern — beer tapping before the Rathaus and a Dult parade into the grounds. Typical hours: Vergnügungsdult Fri–Sat 13:00–23:30, Sun–Mon to 22:00, Tue–Thu to 23:00; Verkaufsdult opens earlier (from 11:00). Reach the meadow from Landshut Hbf on foot (~20 min) or by city bus; on-site parking is limited (~200 spaces).
The full story
Frühjahrsdult Landshut is the spring edition of Landshut's two annual Dulten, running Friday 17 through Sunday 26 April 2026 (ten days) on the Grieserwiese, the same riverside meadow used by Landshut's autumn Bartlmädult. It pairs a Vergnügungsdult (rides and Festzelte) with a Verkaufsdult (market stalls), opening with a ceremonial beer-tapping before the Rathaus and a Dult parade into the grounds. Typical hours: the Vergnügungsdult runs Friday–Saturday 13:00–23:30, Sunday–Monday to 22:00, and Tuesday–Thursday to 23:00, while the Verkaufsdult opens earlier, from 11:00. Grounds entry is free; visitors pay per ride, market purchase, and food or drink. The fairground includes Festzelte and rides, though the exact tent lineup for a given year is best confirmed close to the event.
The Frühjahrsdult's own history is comparatively undocumented. Landshut's autumn Bartlmädult carries a clean, well-sourced founding year of 1339, but the spring Dult, once known as the Bruderkirchweihdult, has a thinner record — loosely tying it to the 14th century and possibly the 1386 consecration of Landshut's Dominican church, without treating that as a firm founding date. The Frühjahrsdult's own founding year is unknown.
Landshut holds two Dulten each year on the same Grieserwiese grounds — this spring Frühjahrsdult and the separately documented autumn Bartlmädult — so the two shouldn't be confused despite sharing a venue and much of their format. The name "Dult" itself is also used well beyond Landshut, most famously for Munich's Auer Dult, so "Frühjahrsdult Landshut" is worth keeping paired with "Landshut" rather than shortened to just "Dult" or "Frühjahrsdult." Reach the Grieserwiese on foot from Landshut Hbf (about 20 minutes) or by city bus; on-site parking is limited. See Frühjahrsdult Landshut page or explore Lower Bavaria.

Frequently asked questions
- When is Frühjahrsdult Landshut in 2026?
- Frühjahrsdult Landshut in 2026 runs from Apr 17–26, 2026.
- Is entry free?
- Grounds entry is free — you pay for rides, market goods, food, and beer. No gate ticket is required.
- Where is it?
- Grieserwiese, Landshut (Wittstraße area), combining Vergnügungsdult (rides/tents) and Verkaufsdult (market stalls).
- What is the history?
- Landshut holds two Dulten yearly. The autumn Bartlmädult dates to 1339; the Frühjahrsdult (once Bruderkirchweihdult) has a thinner record, but local tradition loosely links it to the 14th century and the 1386 consecration of Landshut's Dominican church — a plausible connection, not a firmly dated founding.
- Is this the same as Landshut's Bartlmädult?
- No. The Bartlmädult is Landshut's other, autumn Dult (late August, documented since 1339), held on the same Grieserwiese grounds. This Frühjahrsdult is the spring edition in April, with a separate and far less documented history. The name 'Dult' is also used by many other Bavarian towns' fairs — including Munich's Auer Dult — so it's worth keeping the 'Landshut' qualifier attached rather than shortening this event to just 'Dult' or 'Frühjahrsdult.'
