Hut burning

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hut burning on the Prümerburg in Prümzurlay

The hut burning , sometimes also referred to as castle burning or castle fire , is a traditional fire custom in many places in the Eifel . It is celebrated every year on "Sheep Sonntag" ( Mosel Franconian "Schoof-, Schoofs-, Schöf-, Schoaf-, Schaufs-, Scheifsunndich" or "Scheefsunndich" [Scheef = straw Federation]), the first Sunday after Shrove Tuesday , also called " Funkensonntag " , committed.

origin

The winter burn . From: Otto von Reinsberg-Düringsfeld , The festive year in manners, customs and festivals of the Germanic peoples , Leipzig, 1863
Steffeln (Eifel); burning wheel of fire

The exact origin of the custom is unclear. Presumably it is an adaptation of pagan traditions, with the fire at the beginning of spring symbolically "burning winter" and conjuring up a good summer. For Carlshausen (Deanery Neuerburg ) in 1687 the bishop forbade young people to light straw fires in the streets on the first Sunday of Lent and to offer all sorts of superstitious blessings. In the course of Christianization , the pagan custom was finally legalized by introducing the cross. The consumption of eggs and other treats and sometimes beer and hard liquor in sheep Sunday, the first Sunday of Lent, is not contrary to the precepts of Lent , since Sundays are not counted for Lent.

A historical description of the castle burning can be found in Pastor Michael Bormann from Daleiden in the “Contribution to the History of the Ardennes - Part 2” from 1842. Bormann mentions a document from 1360 in which reports of large fires around which people danced becomes. These fires, also known as hail fires, were lit at the same time as the hut and castle fires on the Krimhildis chair, among other places . They were later banned by the Count Palatine von Zweibrücken on December 12, 1579.

In 1904, the Büllingen pastor Arnold Ortmanns published in his work The Franconian Royal Court of Büllingen a different theory of origin about the origins of the castle fire, which is by no means influenced by Christianity. Ortmann suspects on the one hand the festival of the Ostara and on the other hand the raids of the French king Louis XIV as the beginning. “The castle fire is probably a reminder of the spring and solstice festival of our pagan ancestors and wants to express the hope that light and warmth will soon win over the winter darkness and cold. After the raids of Louis XIV of France, this celebration was associated with the memory of the gruesome murderous burning of the war hordes that burned down all the castles in this area in one night in 1689 ”.

Matthias Paas from Hüttingen an der Kyll found the following in old administrative files: "In the Middle Ages the" three-field economy " prevailed . Artificial fertilizers were not yet known. In order to make the depleted soil full again, a certain field was plowed twice a year, but not built on, that is, the fields were "brought". The other corridors were planted with root crops or sown with spelled. So that everyone knew which corridor was "brought", the owners of the corridor lit a large fire at a certain point at the beginning of the year (Hett = straw and brushwood). "

Radscheewen in the Eifel

The hut burning is celebrated differently in each Eifel town. What all places have in common is that the village youth - mostly male - collects straw and other combustible materials. In most of the villages the material is only collected on Sundays; But some also collect tied sticks from the nearby spruce forests many weeks in advance. These are then collected in a pile, usually on a raised area, which is ignited after dark. In many places the fuel is also equipped with a wooden cross, which is also decorated with straw, etc. In some places, preparations start on Saturdays.

In some places, such as Gees , Neroth , Steffeln , Rockeskyll , Walsdorf , Pellingen , Franzenheim (Trier-Saarburg), a fire wheel is rolled down the mountain to drive away winter (Moselle Franconian: "Radscheewen, Radscheywen, Radscheiven, Radschiwwele, Raderscheiben"). The wheel symbolizes the life-giving spring sun - also known as the joy wheel.

Depending on the direction in which the smoke moves while the hut is burning down, the wind will also maintain this direction in spring: "Wu den Damp vun der Hett gingät, su de wall de whole Virsumer!" or "How de Wand op Scheefsonndich kent, su knows hen de janze Virsumer!"

Up until the 1950s it was customary in many places in the Eifel for people to sing or dance around the hut with funny sayings. After the fire, the village youth usually go from house to house to collect the reward for the work they have done. This usually consists of eggs, which are eaten together in the form of scrambled eggs after they have been collected. Of course, money is not spurned either. In some places, the fire is traditionally prepared by the volunteer fire brigade , who then move from house to house to be entertained. However, there are also places where the recently moved residents entertain the young people, or where only the bachelors can collect the eggs and eat them.

In some places in the Eifel it is customary to eat eggs and fritters ( donuts ) on sheep Sunday evening with the couple who last married or who moved to the village. In some cases this has also shifted to local bars, etc.

 It is possible that the girls used to go to “heischen” (as in Berk and Frauenkron as well as in the Daun district) in the week before Castle Sunday.


The yellow thread around the house could be understood as exposing a stingy host. The color yellow probably symbolizes stinginess.


In the Middle Ages the color yellow had a negative connotation; Yellow was the color of hell light, stood for hostility to God and sin, for lust, envy, money, splendor, heretics, traitors, diseases and epidemics (jaundice, plague, leprosy). Yellow as the color of the sun and the divine was reserved for the ecclesiastical class only.
