Of course, it's not just the length that counts - but the higher a maypole rises into the Bavarian sky, the more sublime its effect on the viewer should be. In Baierbrunn they traditionally place a real Kaventsmann in the center of the village, probably the largest in the Isar valley. The current maypole, which was raised this year, has now had to accept a trimming: it was recently shortened from 36 to 29.5 meters. This was necessary, explained Mayor...
The Maypole friends from Haar have a strong sense of order. That's reassuring to know. After all, they have managed to reliably erect the tree, weighing several tons, in front of the "Zur Post" inn seven times. But now a dispute has broken out because, especially from the perspective of the SPD, the guardians of local customs have created a very tidy little piece of the world at their clubhouse, which looks as if others in the community should be...
The answer to the €4000 question on a popular TV game show is usually a manageable hurdle. The possible elimination of one of the most tedious annoyances in the traffic of Vaterstetten has now failed because of a 4000 euro question - to be precise, it was only the 3272 euro and 50 cent question. The municipality should have invested so much in an additional traffic study for the maypole crossing on Dorfstraße, but the majority in the building and...
Florian Büchlmeir will probably not have found a refreshing sleep on Saturday night. In the afternoon, the 34-year-old has to stand his ground, and the responsibility that will then weigh on his shoulders for at least two hours will weigh as heavily as a full-grown spruce. If it rains, even harder, because then some of the seven pairs of shear poles could easily slip, with the help of which 70 men want to heave the four-tonne maypole, which is set...
15 maypoles are growing this weekend in the district of Munich. An overview:On May 1st at 11 a.m. the Maimusi Baierbrunn their maypole into a vertical position with the help of a crane. As soon as the spruce is up, there will be a party with brass band music at the local fire brigade.At 9 a.m. start on May 1st in Grasbrunn the boys erecting their maypole - with manpower and support from shear poles. The Heldensteiner Heubodnblosn are responsible...
Maypoles and beer tankards have always complemented each other symbiotically. At least that hasn't changed before the Alte Post. Tavern guests sit around the maypole and toast each other with their mugs. Landlord Thomas Binder is standing in the door, the glasses clinking again and drowning out the ringing of the church bell. It's almost like before. So like before the pandemic. Only one thing is different: the Ebersberg maypole is no longer in one piece vertically in the middle...
"Nothing is certain and I hope that our maypole boys sleep on the tree to guard it!" says Andreas Steinfatt, chairman of the Munich Breweries Association. So far no one has tried to steal the almost 35 meter high spruce trunk. The closer the day of installation, the less likely a theft is. An unwritten law forbids stealing once the maypole has been painted. If the tree remains in the hands of the Munich breweries and the Hohendilching-Sollach boys' association...
The rules for maypole thieves are clear: If they have managed to get beyond the town limits with their stolen goods, it belongs to them and must be redeemed by the robbed with beer and snacks. Finally it is set up on May 1st and all is well. That's what you thought until now. But now, years later, the mayor of Baierbrunn, Patrick Ott (ÜWG), is said to have committed such a serious faux pas at the maypole auction last...
Tobi Ringlstetter, 25, cashier of the Maimusi, is on the shift schedule for the Maibaumwache in Baierbrunn next Thursday. From 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m., he and a second boy will be responsible for ensuring that the 39.5 meter long and around seven tonne gem is not kidnapped. Incidentally, this data was calculated by a girl from Maimusi, Stefanie Schmaus, she is a forester by profession. Ringlstetter will relieve the first shift on Thursday night, the two guys who are...
In Miesbach, for example, they are pretty sure of their maypole this year. In any case, maypole thieves from surrounding villages should not have an easy time with the pile that the Miesbachers are storing, preparing and guarding practically in the middle of their town. But above all, in Miesbach, too, they are relying on the fact that this year there will definitely be something again with the maypole erecting. The federal government has already overridden most of the Corona...
