Preparations have begun in the castle courtyard for this year’s Wurstburg Knights’ Tournament, which is scheduled to take place on October 23, 2026.
The weapons masters are already inspecting the swords and shields, preparations for the horses are underway in the stables, and the court kitchen is calculating how much sausage will be needed to feed an entire gathering of knights without causing a serious diplomatic incident.
Knight Helmut Wurst is personally overseeing the preparations.
“The tournament is a celebration of knights. You may come bearing a sword, but not ill intentions.”
The court has not yet revealed the list of knights to be invited, but according to WSI sources, guests are also expected from beyond the borders of Wurstburg.
The October 23 date is still provisional. The Wurstburg Press Office will provide further information on the final programme, the participants and the knightly challenges at a later date.
