The stuffed (also Sauigel ) is a rough peasant carnival figure of the old recipient Fleckenfasnet and drives his mischief in groups on the streets and in the inns of reception. It appears on Carnival Monday, previously also on Carnival Tuesday.

Description and history

Dressed in old clothes (local dialect: "Häs") in larger sizes, the space between the body is stuffed with hay or straw. Old braided bread baking molds ("Grättle"), lampshades or old hats serve as headgear. He often carries an old bricklayer's rucksack on his back, hung with rusty utensils such as mousetraps, stable lanterns, pans, and sometimes bones, a piece of curtain is used to mask his face. With old prams (“chaise”) and worn out bicycles, he unsettles the place and chauffeurs passers-by in the area. He is armed with a pig's bladder ("Sau-Bloder") attached to a stick , which he thrashes threateningly on the ground to scare passers-by. He also likes to roll around on the street. Because of its rough demeanor, the stuffed is also called a piglet .

This figure of the receptive carnival was not particularly popular, the fools guild refrained from being taken over into the association in 1951 when it was founded. However, the comradeships of the place continued this tradition in an unorganized way and as a result the stuffed people still exist today as a free custom in Empfingen.
