September 14, 2026, Hahnbeermann Statue in Heide

In 1841, the Eggen brothers of Norder-, Süder-, and Österegge decided to found a community festival to promote people's sense of belonging. They named this festival Hohnbeer. Instead of locking a rooster in a wooden barrel as a symbol of freedom and fertility, it was placed as a symbol on a barrel and Boßeln (a North German sport) was introduced. (Source: Wikipedia)

The Hahnbeermann, the "Hahn festival man", in traditional clothing who locked the rooster in the barrel at this festival. Later, the rooster was spared and a game was played in the streets with the Boßelkugel (a type of ball). The rooster was celebrated as a symbol of freedom of the peasant republic of Heide.
