Celebration of the tradition: Radmer commits worthy barbara eggs 2024

The traditional barbara party took place on Sunday in Radmer and Vordernberg, which was all about St. Barbara, the protective patron of the miners. Harald Heupl took the leather jump in the Gasthaus zum Erzberg and was ceremoniously taken into the miner stand. The celebrations began with the ritual of the "Gänzn Wassern", where the mountain shortage was thanked with a schnapps, while the rest was poured to the square to ask for rich yield, like My district reported.

in Vordernberg, the event began on November 30, 2024 with the arrival of the guests of honor in the barbarasal. The pageant with torches to the parish church was musically accompanied by the Archduke Johann Trachtenkapelle. During the Barbarahochamt, the deceased miners were honored and the relic of St. Barbara were suspended. The highlight of the evening was the leather jump, in which deserved members were honored. A new barbarabian variety was also pierced. This is accompanied by the long-term tradition of the Knappen from Vordernberg, which was founded 95 years ago, as Knappen Vorernberg reported.

Particularly noteworthy in both celebrations is the deep anchoring of customs and tradition in the region, which looks back on a long history of mining. The leather jump not only symbolizes the description of new miners, but also the preservation of these important cultural practices. In Radmer, Mayor Gerhard Winter emphasized the importance of this tradition in times of change.
