Germans know how to throw a party. Fun festivals with oom-pah bands, beer, wine, sausages plus all sorts of tasty edibles -- and plenty of Gemütlichkeit.

Griesheim has its Zwiebelmarkt, literally onion market, held annually at the end of September. During the 16th and 17th centuries the tiny burg adjacent to Darmstadt produced wine, but after the 30 years war, produce, namely onions, replaced the grapes. Of course, the onion stars in this food fest with Zwiebelkuchen (onion tart) the favourite, usually consumed with a glass of Federweisser, a type of new wine. The name translates as “feather white” referring to the milky appearance of the beverage due to suspended yeast; it is not a finished wine, but fermented freshly pressed grape juice.
