Culture and sights[]

Music[]

Mackenbach's reputation as a musicians' village was established by the wandering musicians from the mid-19th century to the 1930s. They travelled with bands and circuses around the world and made music worldwide - in all of Europe, but also in the US, Australia and Africa) - in order to compensate for the poor income from agriculture in their homeland.

Today their music continues to be played in male voice choirs, in and in Protestant church choirs.

Museums[]

The West Palatine Musicians Museum is dedicated to the West Palatine travelling musicians.
