Spring Dult
The Spring Dult (formerly also the Bruderkirchweihdult ) is a traditional folk festival in the Lower Bavarian town of Landshut . It usually starts two weeks after Good Friday and lasts ten days. The event - in addition to the Bartlmädult, one of the two Landshut folk festivals - includes an entertainment and a sales dult.
history
The exact circumstances of its origins are in the dark, but there is probably a connection with the consecration of the Dominican Church in 1386. Similar to the Bartlmädult, the Spring Dult is one of the oldest folk festivals in Bavaria.
The spring festival changed its location several times due to the steady increase in stalls. From Freyung she first moved to the government square in front of the Dominican monastery . Later it spread to the entire Neustadt and the festival meadow on Niedermayerstraße. It was not until 1949 that the showmen moved to the gates of the city on Grieserwiese on Wittstrasse, and in 1979 the stalls followed there.
description
The beer tapping is traditionally done on the first day of the festival by the mayor in front of the town hall , followed by moving out to the festival area. On both Fridays, after dark, there is a large fireworks display (opening fireworks or musical fireworks by the festival hosts). There are usually three festival tents of different sizes: the largest (90 × 30 meters) at the western end of the Grieserwiese, the middle (50 × 30 meters) on the opposite side and a small one (25 × 25 meters) in the middle.
