Heimat- und Trachtenverein der Börde Elsdorf e.V. |
We
about us ... The
„Heimat- und Trachtenverein“ was founded 17th April 1986.
Its members made it their task to keep the old civilization alive.
Therefore we are dancing 150 year old dances in traditional costumes,
weave on original looms and try to meet new people. |
Mainly we dance the "Elsdorfer Bunten" – that is how the original dances in our hometown are called. In northern Germany we are having several appearances. We are participating at the „Tag der Niedersachsen“ (means „day of lower saxony), the „Landestrachtenfest Niedersachsen“ and more small festivities and jubilees. Adding them all up we are doing up to 30 appearnaces a year. |
Everybody who enjoys dancing or wants to support our group with playing an instrument (ex. the accordion) is welcome to join us. |
If you want us on your event simply contact us personally or by E-Mail |
