Scheffel and the Trumpeter Today

Even today there is no doubt about Joseph Victor von Scheffel's stature,  although his fame as a poet has faded. The poet who carried the name of Saeckingen into the world became a firm part of our local history.

The "Festspielgemeinde" performs the "Trompeter" in the open air; the museum in the castle has its own Scheffel room. Since 1979 an annual Trumpeter Master Class is held, and since 1985 the museum has gained a percious Trumpet Collection.

You can find many interesting things e.g. books, graphics and photos about Scheffel and the Trumpeter in the municipal archives of Bad Saeckingen.
