In the small community of Mühlen, which has around 900 inhabitants, an important festival was celebrated last Saturday. The reason for this was the memory of a historical event from 1445 when the landlord Otto von Silberberg received the market law for Mühlen from King Friedrich. This tradition of celebrating Michaeli on Saturday was postponed by a week this year. The festivities were organized by the village community, which included a large number of local associations, under the direction of chairman Stefan Panzer.

The celebrations started in the early morning. Bernd Tscharnig, the drummer of the festival, was on the road at 4 a.m. to draw the locals aware of the upcoming market festival with his drums. "I whirled all over the community," he said with a smile. The highlight of the festival was a move that moved through Mühlen at 1 p.m., led by the music band and the men's singing association "Zirbitzkogel". There were some remarkable traditions when moving.

The output female, which was shown by Lukas Pahr this year, played a special role. His job was to ensure a clean road while the Freyung was carried out. Another highlight was the "seasoning", in which a herbal flower container was presented to the visitors. This custom should bring luck and the participants were rewarded with a small reward for the acceptance. The bouquets, which were prepared with a lot of care for women and even children the day before, not only brought fragrance, but also joy. The proceeds from these activities flow into charitable purposes, this year to maintain historical robes of Freyung.

The Freyung was carried by Lukas Huber through the town, supported by Bernhard Maier, who was acted as a stuck and was carried on his shoulders by Phillip Steinwidder and Stefan Panzer. The mayor Christian Steibl had the special honor to read the certificate for the market survey from 1445, which was handed over to him by Matthias Legat. A plaque in honor of the late Mayor Herbert Grießer was also unveiled and underlined the significant occasion of the festival.

The strong connection of the Mühleners also showed itself through the contributions of the kindergarten children, who enriched the festival with their performances. The music band and men's singing club enjoyed the enthusiasm of the audience and were rewarded with warm applause. So once again it became clear that mills are not just a place, but a community that lives their traditions with pride.

This festival is not only a celebration of the past, but also a way to bring the community together and keep the customs alive. For more information about the events in Mühlen and its deep-rooted traditions, See the current reporting on www.meinbezirk.at .
