Brilon Schnadezug
The Brilon Schnadezug is a Schnadegang , which has been documented since 1388 , in which the historical city limits of the city of Brilon in the Sauerland are walked in five sections . Today the Schnadezug takes place every two years on Mondays as part of the Schützenfest.
history
The first verifiable Brilon Schnadezug took place on June 24, 1388. A border contract was concluded with the county of Waldeck on the demarcation between the Keffliker and the Willinger Mark . From this point in time at the latest, the borders were regularly checked.
Until 1774, the Schnadezug took place every four years. At a meeting of the twelve-person magistrate on May 25, 1776, it was decided to hold a Schnadezug on June 25 that same year, as the previously usual period of four years was considered too long. In addition, “to continue from 2 years to 2 years in the future” in the same way .
The Prussian government took incidents that took place on June 25, 1840 during and after the Schnade as an opportunity to ban the Schnade trains altogether. In addition to the manslaughter of the blacksmith Franz Vogel, there were other fights and damage to the fields. The ban was published in the "Official Gazette of the Royal Government of Arnsberg" on February 3, 1841:
- “The borderlines and snares that are still common in some places have recently given rise to several gross excesses. Since such moves are no longer of any use at the present time, because when the land is completely categorized, it is not easy to darken the boundaries, but can be lifted by the authorities without the participation of the individual members of the community, so these have so far been applied to some Locations still usual border trains, as a result of the determination of the Royal Ministry of the Interior and the police completely prohibited, and all local authorities as well as the royal district administrators of our district are hereby instructed not to organize a border train that allows the inspection of a hunting, district or community boundary through the Members of the congregation or other people who are not interested in determining the boundaries have the purpose of granting permission. "
Only in 1848 could the Schnadezug be carried out again in the traditional form, after an application to the Ministry of the Interior was successful.
The "Rüthener und Almer Schnade" planned for 2020 was canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic . It should take place out of sequence in 2021.
procedure
opening
Every Schnade begins with the officers of the Saint Hubert Rifle Brotherhood. They fetch the flags from the festively decorated town hall and present them to the Schnad Brothers who are already present. Then the officers march to the school building and pick up the mayor, town clerk, forestry director, rifle king and the adjutants. After a serenade of the marching brass band, the men mentioned, accompanied by the officers and the brass band, ride to the market square.
In the meantime, the ladies and gentlemen of the City Council in their traditional blue Schnadekittel are on the steps of the town hall. Arriving at the town hall, the mayor welcomes the Schnadebrüder, who have now gathered in thousands, from the outside staircase. The town clerk then receives a standard and a Schnadebuch from the mayor's hand. The individual limit recesses are written down in the Schnadebuch.
After the Brilon men's choir has performed an old sniffing way, the town clerk reads out the respective march route and the march regulations. Then the Jagdbläserkorps blows the blow.
Schnadegang
The Schnadebrüder then walk the Schnade, whereby the actual border crossing only begins when the border is reached. From there it goes along the border to the breakfast place, where a two-hour break is made. Then we continue along the border to the camp, where the women wait for the Schnadebrüder and a hearty forest festival is celebrated until evening. The return march to Brilon begins at the horn signal "Collect".
Trimmings
A traditional custom during the Schnade is "Stutzäsen". New citizens in particular are packed on all fours at the breakfast or storage area, dragged to the Schnadestein and bumped three times with their buttocks. This custom is intended to remind those affected of the Schnadestein so that they do not forget it. A certificate signed by the mayor is issued about the process. With the Stutzäsen the new citizen becomes a "real" Briloner.
graduation ceremony
On the outskirts of the city there is a short stop so that the Schnadezug can come to terms. With the ringing of all church bells, the Schnadezug festively draws into town. Traditionally, the train pulls around the kump three times. After circling the Kumps, the mayor, the town clerk and the members of the council step onto the outside staircase of the town hall. Here the town clerk gives the mayor standard and Schnadebuch back. The flags are brought to the town hall by the rifle officers and the pull is over.
