The town of the Kivelinge
Lingen (Ems) is the town of the Kivelinge. Every three years at Pentecost, the entire town center is transformed into a medieval spectacle. The celebration recalls the Kivelinge, the unmarried sons of the town, who went to battle to defend their homes in the 14th century. To this day, the Kivelinge are a strong fellowship that honors itself and the town of Lingen (Ems) during the Kivelingsfest. Festivities include beer, jugglers, and hearty meals.
