Rose magic in Steinfurth

Every two years in July, the rose village of Steinfurth celebrates its unique Rose Festival.

Steinfurth Rose Festival

The queen of flowers is honoured at the Rose Festival in Steinfurth. The rose parade with decorated floats and the rose market are the highlights. The next Rose Festival will take place from 19 to 21 July 2024.

There are a number of rose festivals in Germany, but the Rose Festival in Steinfurth is one of the most popular: every two years, around 40,000 people follow the scent and pay a visit to Germany's oldest rose village.

Rose parade in Steinfurth

The rose market in the picturesque village centre invites visitors to browse while rose nurseries provide insights into their work. More than 100,000 roses in all colours, shapes and fragrances can be admired at the rose show. The rose parade, with magnificently decorated floats, is the highlight of the Rose Festival.

Steinfurth Rose Festival – a folk celebration with a long tradition

Steinfurth is the oldest and largest German rose village. Around 1868, the Schultheis brothers began professional rose cultivation in Steinfurth after Heinrich Schultheis learned it in England. Since 1970, the Rose Festival with a grand rose parade has been held every even-numbered year. The enchanting scent of roses fills the air, making a stroll through the rose village a sensory experience. We look forward to welcoming you to Steinfurth's Rose Festival!
