Ceremonial May devotion in Frankenmarkt: 50 years of gold hood group!

On Saturday, a very special event took place in Frankenmarkt: the Goldhaubengruppe celebrated its 50th anniversary with an impressive district maia prayer. Over 300 festively dressed participants from 37 local groups of the Vöcklabruck district came together to celebrate this occasion. The event began with a solemn entry that was accompanied musically by the Frankenmarkt market music.

Head of the May devotion was Pastor Simon Mödlhammer. This atmosphere was additionally stimulated by the Rhythm Group Frankenmarkt, which offered visitors an unforgettable experience. The highlight of the celebration was a sacrifice, the proceeds of which benefited the mobile hospice aid Vöcklabruck. A total of 4,000 euros were collected on this occasion - a sign of solidarity and social engagement.

culture and tradition in focus

The Goldhaubengruppe Frankenmarkt stands not only for tradition, but also for a lively culture. Under the motto "Culture and tradition, open to new things", they organize numerous activities that promote cohesion in the community. This includes exhibitions, decorating Osterbrunnen and the Christmas decoration of the market area. A beautiful crib has been crowning the festive atmosphere in the community since 2011.

In addition, the group invites you to the “Tage of Tracht” with herbal blessing every two years. Even at larger events in the village, you are always part of the party, be it with Corpus Christi or Thanksgiving.

social responsibility and more

An important aspect of the gold hood group is their social commitment. You buy care beds, visit old people's homes and support various organizations such as the Red Cross Frankenmarkt. Also in the case of disasters, be it through floods or earthquakes, they show heart and donations for needy people.

For the creative minds among them, courses take place regularly: be it when cooking, the gold hood embroidery course or the sewing course - there is something for everyone. In addition, 66 new star singer dresses and suitable crowns, which were sewn from about 130 meters of fabric. The women put over 400 working hours in this project and the group would like to thank everyone who worked on it.

The long -term management of the Goldhaubengruppe is also loyal: Maria Hauser has been running the group's fortunes since 2021 after Erika Lahnsteiner led the club activities from 2010 to 2021. The group currently includes 33 gold and pearl hoods, two headscarf wearers and 16 hood girls, who all together have the tradition of the gold hoods.

This is how the Goldhaubengruppe Frankenmarkt remains an important part of cultural life in the region and, through its commitment, makes a contribution to tradition and the community. After the May devotion, all participants gathered with coffee and cake for lively conversations - a perfect way to end the anniversary.
