Art Meets Charity at Haferl Markets in Freyung and Landshut

The Haferl Markets in Freyung and Landshut, Bavaria, are not just venues for showcasing artistic ceramics, but also platforms for fundraising actions that benefit charities like the St. Vinzenz Children's Home.

During this year's Haferl Market in Freyung, approximately 3650 euros were raised for the St. Vinzenz Children's Home. The funds were collected at the Caritas stand, where the sale of ceramic goods played a significant role.

The St. Vinzenz Children's Home, a charity that directly benefits from the Haferl Market in Freyung, expressed gratitude for the financial support. Representatives Julia Berger and Sophia Kroeninger expressed their appreciation, while the Mayor of Freyung, Alexander Putz, expressed delight about the creative work of the potters benefiting the children's home.

In Landshut, the Haferl Market, which takes place at the beginning of September each year, also contributes to the cause. The Landshuter Keramikschule annually sends around 30 ceramic artists to exhibit their works, further enriching the artistic experience for visitors.

The potters aim to make the children's daily life more beautiful through art with this donation. The funds raised will be used directly to support the children at the St. Vinzenz Children's Home, offering them new perspectives and hope.

At the 43rd Landshuter Haferlmarkt in Freyung (September 12-14, 2025), 29 potters, all graduates from the renowned Landshut Ceramics School, exhibited their works, but individual names of the Potterinnen and Potter or the total donations raised for the St. Vinzenz Children's Home were not specified in the available information.

Kerstin Klebl and Wolfgang Sturm, representatives of the potters, were satisfied with the success of the fundraising action. The event demonstrates the intersection of art and social commitment, as the Haferl Markets continue to serve as a platform for fundraising actions, like the annual donation for the St. Vinzenz Children's Home.

The Haferl Market in Freyung is a location where the official handover of donations takes place, and it continues to receive direct support from the market in Landshut. The creative work of the potters provides a special experience for visitors, while also making a meaningful impact on the lives of the children at the St. Vinzenz Children's Home.
