I have a few words that I can not translate. These are words on an advertisement for some sort of gathering in a small town in Bavaria/Bayern. I am hoping so of you TT's Sprechen Deutsch ser gut and will be able to help me out.

D'Quertreiber

Austanzen (a dance?)

Sportlerkirchweih (Sportler=athlete, kirch=church, weih=???)

Rotzloffl

Woeidarawoell
Owain Glyndwr
ein Quertreiber = someone who is obstinate or awkward.

i don't know austanzen but i do know ausstanzen = to punch out or stamp out.

a kirchweih is a church fair often celebrating its anniversary or something, so a Sportlerkirchweih will be a church fair for sportsmen.

Woeidarawoell is bavarian for Que sera sera.

Thanks, still not sure what to expect but at least we are positive that it is a festival of some sort.

"Austanzen" is a strange word, I wouldnt use. It could mean something like dancing to exhaustion.
"Rotzloffl" should be "Rotzlöffl", same as "Saubua" - a misbehaving boy
Small Town Boy
It's all local dialect. "Kirchweih" is something like a harvest festival; a "Kirchweihfest" would be a piss-up in the standard Volksfest style.
