Handmade Love Untergruppenbach

The Handmade Love fair at Burg Stettenfels in Untergruppenbach is a public shopping and lifestyle event dedicated to handmade products, contemporary design and arts and crafts. It showcases a diverse range of original creations distinguished by their individuality, high-quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship. The focus is on innovative design ideas and unique products that offer an alternative to mass-produced goods.

The event takes place annually at the historic Burg Stettenfels castle in Untergruppenbach, near Heilbronn. With its medieval charm, historic interiors and picturesque setting, the impressive castle provides an exceptional backdrop for contemporary design and traditional craftsmanship. The fair is organised by Handmade Love / Designstolz, a company specialising in craft fairs and design events. It gives independent designers, artisans and small creative brands the opportunity to showcase and sell their work directly to a wide audience.

Visitors can explore a broad selection of handmade jewellery, fashion, textiles, bags, stationery, decorative home accessories, illustrations, artworks and seasonal gifts. Exhibitors represent a variety of creative disciplines, including jewellery and fashion design, textile design, graphic design, home décor and traditional crafts. Visitors can purchase items directly from their makers and learn about the materials, techniques and creative processes behind each piece.

Handmade Love appeals particularly to design enthusiasts, craft lovers and anyone looking for distinctive gifts or unusual fashion and home accessories. The event also provides a valuable opportunity for creative professionals and independent brands to network, exchange ideas and find inspiration. Direct interaction between exhibitors and visitors encourages a greater appreciation of skilled craftsmanship and the creative processes involved in producing handmade goods.

Highlights of the fair include its wide variety of individually designed products, the opportunity to buy directly from their makers and the atmospheric setting of Burg Stettenfels. The castle's imposing architecture and distinctive historic character give the event a unique identity. The emphasis is on discovering exceptional one-of-a-kind pieces and meeting the people who create them, rather than on competitions or award ceremonies.

Handmade Love brings together traditional craftsmanship, contemporary design and a distinctive shopping experience in a historic setting. Burg Stettenfels stands on a hill overlooking Untergruppenbach, close to Heilbronn, and is easily accessible by car via the nearby A81 motorway. Its scenic location, with views across the surrounding countryside, and the historic castle itself make the fair an ideal opportunity to combine shopping with an enjoyable day out in the region.

The Handmade Love will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 13. March to Sunday, 14. March 2027 in Untergruppenbach.
