Witch robbery in the Montafon: Who stole the sparking witch from Lorüns?

Vandans, Österreich - in St. Anton in the Montafon there was an exciting incident: a spark burned completely for reasons that have so far been unexplained, and the discovery of the fire only occurred when it was blazing.

The local fire brigade was quickly on hand to monitor the situation, while the main offense is condemned by a spark of spark, since the flames can be uncontrollable without sufficient supervision, such as Vol.at reported.

The return of the Funken witch

But that was not all: a spark witch, a traditional symbol of the carnival season, was stolen in Lorüns. In order to carry out the crime, the perpetrators had to be quite acrobatic on Sunday night, since the witch was already installed in position. Fortunately, the witch was found on a roadside in Vandans on Sunday afternoon, but without its firecracker, which was intended for the explosive effect at the celebrations. "It was robbed of her sparkling properties," the deputy guild master Janik Fuchsberger told vorarlberg.orf.at . It is a winding tradition of stealing sparks witches and reclaiming for beer as a ransom, but the early attempt to finance a spark is definitely not a cavalier offense and ensures alarm readiness on the part of the guilds.

The spark guild in Lorüns believed to the colleagues in St. Anton believed that she has nothing to do with the fire of the spark. The theft of the witch and the fire itself should be clarified quickly, so that the tradition of spark guilds in the region can be continued unhappily.
