New Year's investigation cards: A customs return!

In Hall there is reason to be happy! The traditional practice of the New Year's death card was again called public life and has now received special appreciation: The Austrian UNESCO Commission has officially included this tradition in the national list of intangible cultural heritage. This was done in accordance with other important customs, such as the Viennese sausage culture.

The New Year's Demeement Card is more than just a nice gesture; It is a valuable part of regional culture, which in the past would almost have been forgotten. Fortunately, there are committed citizens and cultural associations that have campaigned for the revival and care of this tradition. This not only strengthens the local identity, but also a bridge between the generations.

The importance of tradition

In the Tyrolean community, the New Year's Demeement Card is a symbol of friendship and reconciliation. People send each other cards to apologize for failures of the past year and to express their best wishes for the new year. This promotes social cohesion and enables people to get in touch with each other.

The revival of this tradition is also a good example of how living culture can be practiced and respected. Interest in the New Year's death card shows that the population deals with their history and the associated values. This solemnity is now framed by the official recognition that benefits both customs and the region.
