This is accomplished with the aid of a third project partner, the Einar-Schleef-Arbeitskreis e.V. Sangerhausen ( non-profit Einar Schleef Working Group, Sangerhausen ).

The action is related to rituals such as the May Day or harvest festival bonfire, or the burning of a straw doll as a means to “sweep a new broom” and drive out the winter.
