Karle-Tag: A festival for all Karls in the Wirtshaus Paradies!

A very special day is imminent! On November 6th, the "Karle-Day" is celebrated, an event that Karl Gebhart launched to bring all men named Karl together. The 87-year-old from Steinbronnen has been inviting to this celebration for ten years, which falls on the name day of St. Karl Borromäus. A festival that not only has a tradition, but also ensures a lot of fun and conviviality!

The Karle Day takes place in the Wirtshaus Paradies in Bad Saulgau, where Karl Gebhart traditionally reserves a table at 5 p.m. "I used to be there often and I always liked it," he says. In the early years, the Karls celebrated in a larger group, but the number of participants has dropped over the years. "If we are only in three, it's nice too," says Gebhart optimistic. The invitation is now also published in the "Schwäbische Zeitung", and with success: "I once offered free beer, and even Karls from Herbertingen!"

The importance of Karle-tags

November 4 is not just a date, but a day of honor for all Karls! Karl Gebhart was inspired by the idea when he thought about Josefstag. "Why not start a Karle day?" He asked himself. His wife Emma adds: "The name day that is closest to the birthday is the real." While the name of the name in many countries plays a major role, it is often different in Germany. But for Karl Gebhart, Karle-Day remains a highlight, which it celebrates with joy, even if the number of participants fluctuates. "Every year I am excited to see who comes and what we can learn," he says with a smile.
