New location for the maypole: Community strengthens Rieden and Zellerberg

The municipality of Rieden at Kaufbeuren faces significant changes: Mayor Inge Weiß reported that the local council has a new, sustainable solution for the maypole on the agenda. The two shooting clubs Rieden and Zellerberg have decided to revitalize the tradition of the maypole setting after the previous foundations have become unsafe. Due to planned property sales and a power line in the way, the locations had to be covered. The volunteer group, known as the "Maibäumler", is actively working for the creation of a new foundation that is to be built on the fire brigade, the Allgäuer Zeitung .

The new location should ensure that tradition will be maintained, with the two rifle clubs alternately set up the maypole. This is considered a strong sign of the connection between Rieden and Zellerberg. In addition, the local council plans to inspect the location in order to determine the details of the foundation. As a further important decision, the quick purchase of a new pump for the Zellerberg pumping station was approved with costs of over seven thousand euros, which uses a further future -oriented measure.

Rieden and Zellerberg - a charming duo

The idyllic municipality of Riedenzellerberg consists of the districts of the same name and has around 1300 inhabitants. The region is characterized by a rich natural landscape that offers diverse habitats. Historically grown, Rieden used to belong to the Irsee Reich Abbey and was first mentioned in 1242. This long history complements the modern development of the community, which is now an important center for leisure and sport, with a wide hiking and cycle path network as well as an active club life, such as Travel-idea

With the new maypole foundation and the investment in the pumping station, Rieden takes a step into the future, while the rich history and the harmonious nature of the region remain an integral part of its identity.
