Potato racking in Dretzel: competition, fun and tuber party!
On September 20, 2025, the region awaits an exciting event: potato racking on Farmer Thiem's field. From 12 p.m. all potato enthusiasts can put their skills to the test. The aim is to collect the most potatoes in the bag within three minutes. Whoever does best will be rewarded not only with fame, but also with great prizes. Both individual participants and teams can compete in various categories. A highlight is the potato course, which is specially designed for the youngest guests. Your physical well-being is also taken care of - from potato soup to grilled food, no wish remains unfulfilled here.
Getting there is also very straightforward. Visitors have the option of arriving with old agricultural technology or using the shuttle service, which runs from the TKS company premises on Bahnhofstrasse directly to the field. After the competition, things really get down to business: DJ Peter will create a great atmosphere at the tuber party, and everyone is invited to celebrate together.
competition and entertainment
Potato racking not only offers competition, but also many attractions for the whole family. In addition to the exciting harvest, there is an exhibition of old agricultural technology and the opportunity to experience the impressive vintage tractors up close. Children can look forward to a straw bouncy castle and even enjoy fire brigade rides. This makes the day unforgettable for the little ones.
The idea of racking potatoes has already proven itself in the past, as [lkjl.de](https://www.lkjl.de/de/ Veranstaltung/event/74458,1239/kartoffelracken-dretzel-21-09-2024.html) reports. If we looked at the last events, the focus was not only on the competitions, but also on the community. In recent events, both individual and team competitions have been very popular, with many competing in teams of three.
The meaning of the potato
The potato has a long and interesting history that enriches the event. Cultivated over 5,000 years ago in the Andes in South America, this versatile tuber found its way to Europe thanks to Spanish conquerors in the Middle Ages. Today there are around 350 different types of potatoes in Germany, which are ideal for a wide variety of dishes - from fries to mashed potatoes. A visit to this event is not only a sporting challenge, but also an opportunity to learn more about this valuable plant.
The anticipation for the potato racking on September 20th is increasing, and there are also many exciting experiences for the children to gain. Not only can they take part in the competition, but they can also use their own creativity when preparing potato dishes.
Another big event in Dretzel, the potato racking, is coming up on September 21, 2024, which shows how popular this festival is. Many people look forward to this and make it a monthly highlight for all potato fans and their families. So, pack your shovel and come by – Farmer Thiem’s field is calling!
