The Landshut Wedding (German: Landshuter Hochzeit) is one of the largest historical pageants in Europe. Countless visitors from all over the world have taken part, or have been spectators of the "Landshuter Hochzeit 1475", a pageant held in the city of Landshut, Bavaria, Germany. More than 2,000 participants in medieval costumes bring the festival to life to recreate the Late Middle Ages. It commemorates the wedding between Hedwig Jagiellon, daughter of the King of Poland, and George, the son of the Duke of Bavaria at Landshut. The original medieval wedding is re-enacted every four years, and everyone gets carried away with medieval jousting, pageantry, feasting and wedding processions for a short period in the summer.

Eisstadion am Gutenbergweg
Eisstadion am Gutenbergweg

The Fanatec Arena (former: Eisstadion am Gutenbergweg; English: Gutenberg-road ice hockey venue) is an indoor sporting arena located in Landshut, Germany. It is primarily used for ice hockey. The complex of buildings consists of two ice rinks, one generally used for training purposes. The second arena is the home venue of EV Landshut, a professional ice hockey club participating in Germany's DEL2. The major arena currently holds 4,448 people. The (then) outdoor arena was inaugurated on 10 November 1957 on the current location of the stadium, ten years later the stadium was roofed. Until 1981 the venue was owned by the Eislaufverein Landshut (German for ice hockey association Landshut), but the increasing maintenance costs forced the association to sell the stadium to the City of Landshut. The city agreed on a treaty that gained the professional ice hockey team of the previous holder the right to use the stadium for their purposes, i.e. their compulsory games. Since then the owner of the stadium has not changed any more. After more than two years of renovation, the arena, which now bears the name of the sponsor Fanatec,[no] was reopened on October 31, 2021, with the regular season game EV Landshut vs. Lausitzer Füchse which ended 5-4OT. The rink now measures 60x28 m. The facilities of the building include the "Landesleistungszentrum für Eishockey" (German for intensive training centre for ice hockey in Bavaria). The stadium hosted the 2007 IIHF Inline Hockey World Championships and will host the 2022 IIHF World U18 Championships.
