The Zunft der Stadtschröter Traben-Trarbach is a traditional association in traditional costume with the aim of cultivating and preserving traditional Moselle customs. This includes, among other things, the preservation and organisation of the centuries-old, four-day Jakobstag, the only guild wine festival in Germany, and participation in events at home and abroad that serve to promote customs and promote the guild, homeland and wine.

On the annual Jakobstag, the festival in honour of St. James, the patron saint of the town’s winegrowers, the crowning of the town wine queen of Traben-Trarbach takes place under the watchful eye of the coronation council, who represents the guild, the town of Traben-Trarbach and the local Moselle wine for the duration of one year, both internally and externally.
