Guided tour of the St. Marien church library

📍 Barther Kirchenbibliothek

29th Barth buoy removal

📍 Festplatz Trebin am Theater

The barrel knocking is one of the oldest customs in the region. It is a competition that is usually held on horseback. A hanging wooden barrel decorated with leaves and ribbons is knocked out of the bottom, staves etc. with a club as it is ridden underneath. The riders compete to be crowned king of the barrel, staves or floor - this remains the case until the next barrel is knocked off.
