Maypole over the town of Degerloch, near Stuttgart, Germany, May 10, 2015.
In Swabia on the first of May a tall fir-tree used to be fetched into the village, where it was decked with ribbons and set up; then the people danced round it merrily to music. The tree stood on the village green the whole year through, until a fresh tree was brought in next May Day.
— Sir James Frazer, from Chapter 10, The Golden Bough

I like it!!
A nice thing to see in the 21st century. I think, living here, I’d better finally read The Golden Bough.
[…] Here in the Swabian part of Germany, many towns and villages will be celebrating the first of May like this. […]
