Federweißer and onion tart
Late summer is the season for Federweißer and onion tarts. In the city center, from August 20 through October 31, there are several stands selling these specialties.
Every year in late summer, they spring up from the ground: charming wooden huts that open their shutters from noon until early evening and offer new wine—Federweißer and Roter Rauscher. The partially fermented grape juice has an alcohol content of about 5–6 percent by volume. Traditionally, people eat onion cake or bread with lard alongside it and look forward to fall.
