Forum – Krampus Runs: violence or culture?

Date:

For many people, the Krampus and Perchten season is a highlight of the cold season, but there are always reports of violence and criticism of the customs. What does this tradition mean to you? Do you think she has changed, for the better or for the worse?

Krampus parades are deeply rooted in the culture, but reports of violent incidents, such as beatings of spectators during the parades, repeatedly lead to criticism of the tradition. In addition, some people lament the change in the “Loavn” – the masks – from traditional designs to more modern, often less handmade styles.

What do you associate with Krampus and Perchten runs? Will you visit one this year? What do you think of this tradition? In which aspects do you think change is needed? We look forward to hearing your thoughts and experiences on this topic in the comments!
