The festival hall

For 50 years, the Festhalle Bayernland has been an integral part of many folk festivals and fairs in southern Bavaria. The company H. and P. Schöniger GmbH has been family-owned since it was founded. Today, the owners Peter and Petra Schöniger successfully run the business of the Festwirt family. Reliability and loyalty characterize the long-standing partnership with breweries, municipalities and event organizers. Depending on the location, regional suppliers are also involved.
The Festhalle is flexible in size and can seat between 1,500 and 5,000 people. Depending on the available space and the event, the Festhalle also has a porch and an outdoor seating area, which is very popular as a beer garden, especially in the warmer months.

In the spirit of company founder Heinz Schöniger, his son Peter joined the company. True to the motto "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree", Peter Schöniger successfully passed the tent pitching examination and supported his father in all areas.
In 2001, the sole proprietorship was transformed into "H. u. P. Schöniger GmbH". Just five years later, in 2006, Heinz Schöniger handed over his Festhalle Bayernland and thus the company to his son Peter Schöniger and his wife Petra.
