About Wallenstein Festival
The Wallensteinfestspiele (Wallenstein Festival) in Memmingen, Bavaria, Germany is the largest historical festival in Europe and exists since 1980. Over 4,500 participants with 300 horses reenact the stay of Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Waldstein, known as Wallenstein, the supreme commander of the imperial forces of the Holy Roman Empire during the Thirty Years' War, in the city in 1630. The festival is organized every four years in the summer by the Fischertagsverein Memmingen. In 2018, the festival was awarded the Bavarian Heritage Prize.
