Fighting heats up at a tournament in Bernau bei Berlin - Hussitenfest

The main festival and its events happen in the city park of Bernau bei Berlin. Some are in the old town, the historical centre.
Bernau won the battle with help of the Bernauer brigands back in 1432.
The brigands are well-trained, armed knights.
The paradox of naming a festival after its attackers is not questioned. It is conceivable that in the course of the centuries, the term Hussite festival developed from the "annual celebration of the Hussite defeat". Perhaps the unwieldy wording no longer suited the taste of the times or the growing folk festival could not be advertised with this title.
Today we celebrate a festival of friendship and cosmopolitanism together with friends from the Czech Republic. The common memory of historical events no longer divides, but unites.
