Country:  | I don't know, it was some festival, Erich. Celebrating ... nothing. They just wanted to dress up and drink. I can't blame them.

Country:  | Yes as pD said it is just a medieval festival. They get together and show how they lived back then. Nothing special but they do it all the time in Rothenburg.

Country: | That is a pretty stupid thing to say.
How can you think that when it is history and part of the culture of Germany. They unlike many places in the world are trying to keep culture alive by wearing the traditional clothing and all. They do not do it on a day to day basis. They are normal people who work normal jobs like you and me and wear normal clothing like you and me. They are just part of clubs and do it as a way to teach people. They just dont go and set it up, they take part in midieval festivals.
Sorry but that is pretty ignorant to think something like that. Because of people with attitudes like the one you have just shown, is why many places in the world do not have there own culture anymore and probably why the culture in your own home the Czech is going to die out.

| Deradler is correct. Theres a lot of interest in historical reenactment's and if these people just want to have fun for a day, then theres nothing wrong with it.

Country:  | geezo yes there are festivals of all sorts through lower and upper Bayern. what about the Landshut festivites well known throughout Germany. many areas besides having their own "older" Cultures also include a wide array of dress for both men and women, all marking the uniquess of the village/cities.
We saw this in Garmisch, Ettal/Unter und Oberammergau anf rom there throughout NW Austria.
it's cool !

Country: | I do, I am sifting through my pics as we speak. They are all non digital camaras though so I will have to scan them. That is why it is taking so long to post the pictures on here.

Country: | Well, maybe I didn't say it correct. I have one very good friend that does this and he took me on one of the festivals and most of the people I met there were just crazy wannabe pricks... I didn't mean that general.  | |
