Bavarian Maypole DE v1.0
The «Bavarian Maypole» is a typical Bavarian decorative object. A Maypole is a decorated tree or tree trunk that is erected in Bavaria, the Rhineland, Saarland, Emsland, East Frisia, North Rhine-Westphalia, Franconia, Baden, Swabia, the Palatinate, Hesse, parts of Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Lusatia, as well as in Austria, parts of Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Slovenia, Hungary, and parts of Romania on May 1st. In other regions, it is also erected at Pentecost.
Especially in Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, the Palatinate, and Austria, the ceremonial erection of a tree trunk on the village square is common. This special tradition, along with the associated village or town festival, usually held on April 30th, May 1st, or Pentecost, is widespread in many parts of Central and Northern Europe. In Switzerland, the tradition of erecting a Maypole is found in rural communities. It can be dismantled or erected as needed (takes about 2.5 minutes).
– Note 1: After activating the Maypole for erection, it takes a few seconds for the process to begin!
– Note 2: Since a Maypole is typically not standing during the winter months, this one does not have a snow mask!
