Max Haunmarkt 2023: Experience tradition and culture in Niederwölz!

The Max Laun Market in Niederwölz, which takes place from October 11th to 14th, is a long -term tradition that is deeply rooted in the community. Mayor Albert Brunner explains that the success of this event is mainly secured by the help of the entire community. This year the market will be held for the 488th time and brings numerous visitors and locals together.

A central highlight of the market is the output of Freyung, which is ceremoniously lifted on the street from the balcony of the Stinglbauer on Sunday. A choir intones the freying song while a pageant leads to the market area and the municipal office. Freyung will remain set up there until 6 p.m. on Sunday and Monday before it is safely kept at the Stinglbauer. This tradition has over 350 years of history and says that Freyung must never get into the hands of another place. It also includes that Freyung is carried back with vocals and G’sstanzln in the evening.

a special custom - the max launer

The role of the Max launer is particularly honorable. This year she will be taken over by Daniel Reinmüller, who is also responsible for the selection of the Max Launer in secret until the big Sunday. The Maxauner has the task of smearing the face of women and girls with color - a custom that is supposed to bring happiness. This traditionally shaped task requires that the Max laun native of Niederwölzer and unmarried.

Another important element of the market is the specific certificate, which dates from 1536 and which is read before the municipal office before the market is officially opened. Last year, honorary ring bearer Walter Horn had the honor to read this certificate. In the course of this, Gundula Sapper, the kindergarten teacher of the community, was also honored with the "golden badge of honor" for her continuous commitment.

a festival for all senses

After the formal reading of the certificate, visitors can enjoy the performance show organized by Sissi Gruber. This show offers a platform for regional products and services, and highlights should not be missing this year either. Prominent guests enrich the festival and make the event an experience for everyone. The entire weekend is characterized by conviviality, culinary and entertainment, whereby the traditions are being held up.

The MaxaLaunmarkt is not only an important part of local culture, but also an example of cohesion and community spirit in Niederwölz. The participation of a broad audience shows that such traditional events are of great importance today. More information can be found at www.meinbeinbezirk.at .
