A German city has achieved a new Guinness World Record, hosting the largest parade of dachshunds ever seen. The event, known as the Dackelparade, took place in Regensburg, home to the famed Dackelmuseum, and saw an impressive 897 dachshunds, also known as wiener dogs, walking alongside their owners.
While some estimates suggested that the number of dogs might have reached as high as 1,175, Guinness World Records officially confirmed 897 dachshunds participating in the event. This impressive gathering broke the previous record and set a new benchmark for dachshund lovers around the world.
The parade was organized by Seppi Küblbeck and his husband, Oliver Storz, founders of the Dackelmuseum, which is dedicated to celebrating the beloved dachshund breed. Küblbeck shared that the event aimed to bring a sense of unity and positive energy to the community, celebrating the charm and joy that dachshunds bring to people’s lives.
“The dachshund isn’t political,” Küblbeck told Süddeutsche Zeitung, emphasizing that for these dogs, all people are equal, regardless of background, skin color, or where they come from. The Dackelparade proved to be a heartwarming and inclusive event, reinforcing the universal appeal of these playful and loyal dogs.
The parade not only celebrated the dachshund breed but also highlighted the importance of community spirit and shared joy. As the dogs paraded through the streets of Regensburg, they became symbols of connection and happiness, making this world record event a memorable moment for the city and dachshund enthusiasts around the globe.
