Schafflertanz (Cooper's dance)
To celebrate the end of the black death Munich's Schäfflern, the Cooper's guild had a dance to celebrate the end of the plague. This occurs every 7 years. they did hold one after Covid ran its course and now we are back to the regular schedule.
The group goes all over Munich during the last 2/3rds of January and early Feb. They are accompanied by the Muchener Kindl, Munich child. That is the symbol of Munich from the 1300's. Current form is a young girl. Pictured on teh coat of arms with a Christian hand gesture and a bible. Other variations show her with a beer mug and radishes, or pretzel.
