The Trachtenkapelle Elters, a traditional music ensemble from the Rhön region, celebrated its 100th anniversary. Founded in 1926, the group has served as a cultural ambassador, performing at events such as the Munich Oktoberfest and conducting international tours across Europe, the Americas, and Tahiti.

The jubilee festivities in Elters included a three-day festival featuring a festive service, musical performances, and a barrel tapping ceremony. Notable participants included the Italian ensemble ‘Die Chiottini’ and the Musikverein Mittelrode, with Fulda District Administrator Bernd Woide conducting the piece ‘Vogelwiese’. The ensemble’s history also includes winning the European Championship for Bohemian-Moravian brass music in 2017.
