3 ANSBACH, Germany (April 21, 2021) - May Day in Germany is rife with old traditions, filled with myths and mysteries, and the celebration of spring.
Many local communities organize a dance, “Tanz in den Mai,” the night prior to celebrate the beginning of the warmer season. That night is known as Freinacht, and also as Walpurgisnacht, which is - according to folklore - the one night of the year witches dance and fly on their brooms across the Brocken hill in the Harz region.
During Freinacht, the free night, the young folks of a village may play pranks on their neighbors, a tradition that started many centuries ago with freshly mustered soldiers enjoying one last night of freedom and mischief. Popular activities include wrapping things in toilet tissue, or stealing unguarded items like garbage cans or wheelbarrows, and then leaving them in a central place to be found the next day; these activities are tolerated, as long as there is no damage done.
