1st Dagobertshausen BBQ Day: Fire at will for May 1st
Marburg, March 10, 2026 – On May 1, 2026, Dagobertshausen will become the stage for the international BBQ scene. At the 1st Dagobertshausen BBQ Day, concentrated grilling expertise meets honest flames, premium meat, and plenty of entertainment. From 12 to 6 PM, the Dagobertshausen estate transforms into a stage for smoke, embers, and great taste experiences.
When smoker world champions fire up their devices, when ton-heavy high-end grills reach operating temperature, and when the scent of slowly cooked meat fills the air, it's clear: this is not about sausages and folding grills. This is about real barbecue.
BBQ Elite Meets Real Fire
For the first Dagobertshausen BBQ Day, a lineup with cult status in the scene is arriving. International BBQ masters, meat experts, and grill visionaries will show live what is possible with fire, patience, and first-class ingredients.
Among others, the following will be there:
Real Smoke BBQ – World champion at the smoker and master of the "Low & Slow" culture
Otto Gourmet – Germany's authority for premium meat
David Pietralla – with Europe's largest rotation smoker, over seven meters of steel, heat, and passion
Peter Scharff & Ralf Jakumeit – the creative minds behind the FoodRock Festival with their over 500-kilogram Hydra grill
Giuseppe Messina – Street food rebel with his Hot Dog Deluxe
Heiko Karl – BBQ power from Southern Germany, known for his legendary whole pig from the fire
Nils Jorra – Taste expert and head of "Plating like a Rockstar"
Philipp's Bread & Butter from the Butter Boyz – honest craftsmanship directly from Bavaria
Original Beans – Pioneers of fair chocolate, showing that BBQ can also be sweet
Steel, Embers, and Taste Explosions
Culinary highlights range from signature cuts from the smoker to vegetables from the open fire to BBQ desserts. Large pieces of meat, honest heat, and craftsmanship perfection shape the menu of this special day.
Accompanied by a Craft Beer Experience with IPA, Bavaria Ale, and Bockbier, plus whiskey cocktails and selected wines.
The ticket includes food & beverage all-inclusive: A day for everyone who wants to not only eat real barbecue but experience it.
BBQ Entertainment: Action, Craftsmanship, and Real Challenges
BBQ is more than food, it's an experience. And that's exactly what's being celebrated in Dagobertshausen.
Brave guests can try their hand at bull riding. Those who prefer to keep both feet on the ground can try their luck at gold panning or test their strength at the famous "Hau den Lukas".
And as a special highlight: Experienced rollers will be rolling cigars live, leaf by leaf. Genuine craftsmanship that you usually only see behind the scenes.
