Be there when Backnang honors his "ardent and intrepid women," who came out of the Backnanger Giving as victor against the authorities. They had rebelled with much heart-blood against the ban of mayor, court, and council, to keep no more geese in the city. Just 400 years ago the dispute was settled with the "Backnanger Gänseverordnung".
Every year on the last Sunday in October, the Backnanger retail trade opens its doors to thousands of visitors to the Backnanger Gänsemarkt. For 27 years now, the goose market has been the shopping highlight in the event calendar and almost a compulsory date for the residents of the Backnanger area.
More than 180 specialist shops, artisans and market stalls offer a wide selection of special offers and treats, which leaves nothing to be desired. At the fountain, 27 real geese watch the hustle and bustle.
The geese are accompanied by a colorful supporting program on various action stages. This is where clubs, bands and theater groups as well as various artists who show themselves to the entertainment of the visitors at their best are presented.
