Culture

A nationally known specialty of Biewer is every year on Shrove Tuesday held archipelago jump . The skerries jump is a kind of dance dance in which a long chain of people jumping and jumping, holding hands, snakes through the streets of Biewer at the beginning of the carnival parade. The origin of this custom has not been explored to this day, but it is assumed that Celtic customs were used to drive away winter. The Echternach jumping procession, which takes place annually in neighboring Luxembourg , and the Furry Dance on Flora Day (May 8th) in Helston ( Cornwall , Great Britain ), have similarities to the skerries .

The building , which was built in 1936/37 as a state youth home , also known as the house of the NSDAP and the Grossheim of the Hitler Youth (HJ) , was built by Heinrich Otto Vogel and E.
