Turamichele, Annual autumn celebration in Rathausplatz, Augsburg, Germany
The Turamichele festival features a mechanical figure of Archangel Michael fighting a dragon, appearing hourly at the Perlach Tower window during the event.
The tradition originated from medieval times when the Perlach Tower became a symbol of Augsburg's religious and cultural identity through the Archangel Michael story.
Each September 29th, families gather to watch the mechanical display while children participate in activities celebrating the triumph of good over evil.
The festival runs from 10 AM to 6 PM during the last weekend of September, with easy access to the central Rathausplatz location.
The mechanical figure demonstrates precise engineering through its hourly performance, combining medieval craftsmanship with religious symbolism in German culture.
