| Description: | "Germany - IN OLD HEIDELBERG - Every youngster takes part in centuries-old custom to celebrate the end of winter." Heidelberg, Germany. Long shot of Heidelberg, showing Heidelberg Castle and the Alte (or Karl-Theodor) Brücke (bridge) over the Neckar River. Shot of a row of houses before what might be the escarpment of the castle above. Closer shot of procession led by children drumming on snare drums. In the background can be seen old buildings and landmarks of the historic city. Following them are costumed children, and people dressed as haystacks (or straw men), which the commentator says represent Winter and will be taken to the top of a hill and burned (presumably not the people inside). | |
