Krampusspiel of the Nikologruppe Kumitz at Bäckerei Schlömmer

The origin of the Kumitz nicologic group can be traced back to the end of the 18th century.

 Then, over time, a Krampusspiel was performed in the inns of the municipality. The priest and St. Nicholas, who teach the children with their sermon, admonish them and then give them gifts from the white bartel. The sacristan, the night watchman, the hunter, the policeman and the goat also belong to the role bearers of the procession. In the course of time, the Schab were added, who announce the Rauhnacht with their flagellum snaps. Without a doubt, the main attraction is the sermon of Lucifer with his two holders. An impressive lecture about the vices of mankind, always amazes the audience. In the past, the Krampuses were equipped with fur masks, today they wear sheepskin heads with carved wooden masks and goat horns. Lucifer wears a sheepskin head without a wooden mask and has a face made up in red.
