Jahrmarkt, Kirmes, Volksfest - there are many words in German for the traditional fairs celebrated in the country. However in Regensburg the old term Dult has been preserved. This very Dult is celebrated twice a year, in May and in September. The Dults celebrated in the city district Stadtamhof derive from a privilege received by the Bavarian Duke in the year 1389. The permission to establish two fairs was granted to help the independent city get back on its feet economically after the destructions experienced in the Cities War. Then the city of Regensburg, this was the city south of the Danube, prohibited all fun fairs at the end of the 19th century. However, from the early middle ages three fairs had been celebrated there until then. Now, precisely since 1972 one celebrates at Regensburg’s Europe Channel. Before this, the stalls and carousels were located at the so-called Protzenweiher.
