After the last performance there will be a Krampuskränzchen at the fire station Obersdorf.
The origin of the Nikolo group Kumitz can be traced back to the end of the 18th century. In the beginning, the young men of the parish, dressed in sheepskin coats and fur caps with red tongues, grouped together and paraded through the parish on the evening of December 5. The priest and St. Nicholas, instructing and admonishing the children with their sermon, and then the white bartel presented them with gifts. 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.
