Robertsdorf: Village Culture, Farm Life and Mill Tour

Robertsdorf shows its character where village community, agriculture and regional culture come together. The village is one of the districts of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of Dreveskirchen in the Nordwestmecklenburg district. For your travel planning, this combines a rural stay with special festivals, insights into farm life, a designated cycling tour and cultural destinations in the municipality of Blowatz.

The Goat Festival as a Special Highlight

The traditional Goat Festival takes place in Robertsdorf every two years. The 16th Goat Festival on 14 September 2024 also marked Robertsdorf's 775th anniversary. Anyone interested in local customs and community-organised events will gain a vivid impression of public life in the village here. The traditional procession led from the old petrol station at the entrance to the village along the main road to the festival field at the other end of the village, thus encompassing Robertsdorf in its entirety.

The programme also included a play in Low German, which the people of Robertsdorf performed again. At the 2024 Goat Festival, there was a coffee table, game and grilled bratwurst. The procession, Low German theatre and shared meal offer different ways to experience this festival: You can get to know the regional language and club life or combine a sociable day with culinary impressions. As the festival takes place every two years, you should specifically compare the date with your travel plans and not expect a regular annual event.

Farm Life and Cycling

A farm in Robertsdorf offers two holiday apartments. Guests of the farm can experience the daily life of a modern agricultural business. This makes a concrete difference when choosing accommodation: If you are looking for more than just a place to sleep and also want a connection to rural life, a holiday apartment on a farm can provide the right setting for your stay. The decision remains guided by your own travel focus – between village culture, agriculture and active excursions.

Cyclists can also include Robertsdorf in a longer tour. The approximately 70-kilometre cycling tour “Mill Tour” passes through Robertsdorf. You should take the approximate route length into account when planning your day. This means choosing between a stay shaped more strongly by the village and its farm life and a trip in which Robertsdorf appears as a stop within an extended cycling tour.

Church and Historical Traces

The municipality of Blowatz is home to the church in Dreveskirchen, with a Baroque organ built in 1754 by Rostock organ builder Paul Schmidt. During the summer months, the church offers an “Open Church” every day. Visits to the church in Dreveskirchen are possible by prior arrangement. If you are interested in church interiors, organ building and regional history, you can consciously plan this visit as a cultural part of your trip.

A historical reference also leads to Blowatz: in 1936, a fire brigade was mentioned for the first time under the name “FFW Robertsdorf”. The Blowatz Riding and Driving Club has made the municipality of Blowatz known far beyond the borders of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. Together with the Goat Festival, Low German theatre and the church, this creates a picture in which club life, festival culture and historical connections stand closely side by side, without Robertsdorf having to be reduced to just one holiday theme.

Choosing Robertsdorf as Your Accommodation Location

A holiday apartment in Robertsdorf is particularly suitable for travellers who want to combine their stay with specific local experiences. You can make farm life the focus, take the Mill Tour into account or wait for the date of a Goat Festival. Those interested in culture can add the Dreveskirchen church with its Baroque organ to their plans and find out in advance about the possibilities of the Open Church or about a visit by prior arrangement. In this way, the search for accommodation is guided not solely by the name of the place, but by the type of trip you would like to create.
