In reply to Message (7522.5.1) Gautschfest
By expresident_2000 - Sat 20/12/03 00:05:25 GMT At a Gautschfest people who have finished learning their job as printer or type-setter get a kind of baptism (that’s actually where this tradition comes from). Below an article I found in my Microsoft Encarta. Sorry, German only, and I can’t translate all those terms I partly read myself the first time.
Gesellentaufe, früher bei Handwerkern üblicher Brauch, mit dem ein losgesprochener Lehrjunge (Geselle) durch einen auf scherzhafte Weise dem kirchlichen Taufakt ähnlichen Aufnahmeritus in die Gesellenschaft sowie die Gesellenherberge aufgenommen wurde. Die „Taufe” wurde durch drei Gesellen vollzogen, die „Pfaffe”, „Pate” und „Glöckner” genannt wurden. Dabei musste der getaufte Geselle einen Umtrunk ausgeben und sich einen Gesellen- bzw. Spitznamen zulegen, bisweilen wurde dieser ihm auch zugeteilt. Bei den Buchdruckern hieß die Gesellentaufe, bei der der Geselle in ein Wasserfass gesetzt wird, „Gautschen”.

In reply to Message (7522.5) Thanks, MK, and.....
By de dikke Vandaal - Fri 19/12/03 21:56:22 GMT I've been wondering: What is precisely a "Gautschfest"? Kann vielleicht jemand erklären: was ist das, ein "Gautschfest"? Was wirdt gefeiert? |
In reply to Message (7522) first free gift from WAMTEC - for jeans fans
By MK - wamtec@compuserve.com Fri 19/12/03 11:16:19 GMT Website: http://www.wamtec.com/sm06/SM06.html This is the first in a series of goodies I will have you y'all in the next week or so. This one is for jeans fans.
As you have often seen...they have these "Gaustchfest" girl dunking festivals that take all over Germany in the summer months. You have only see pics before...but now I found an inside contact on these events. A friend of mine works for German television as a cameraman, and he filmed some of the events in Leipzig this year for his tv station...and he sent me 75 minutes of his Gautschfest footage, plus another 45 mins of wetlook from German tv shows like German Big Brother, Temptation Island & various wet t shirts, and Fernshgatan (the famous scene where the lady in pink dances in the pool).
Anyway...so for starters, I ran off a few quick vidcaps for you to see some snippets from these events. I have also created a 6 minute online video from the 75 mins of footage, that I am willing to post that to a FREE area for download next week. I am not quite sure how best to manage this yet...cos we all saw the mad rush that just ensued when Graham just posted the fawn video clips...300 people all charging the gate at one time...ha ha.
I dunno how best to manage this. Perhaps if I tell you all these these scenes are a load of crap and only the diehard jeans fans will like it...so not to waste your time downloading it if you don't like jeans girls...perhaps I can put a few people off. Anyway..I will probably upload the video to my free area on monday...and those that have remembered this message by monday (cos everybody forgets everything in 24 hrs on this forum) will remember to ask me for the video clip on monday...and if this thread is dead by monday...well ce la vie...ha ha
Seriously though..if you see the pics and are interested in seeing the online video..then remember to post a request on monday to remind me to upload it. If you prefer to get the entire 2hr video on vhs or dvd from me...just email me and you can order a copy.
If you like these Gautschfest events...if you live in Germany...there are many of them in many different cities that you can go to see. These are only the events from one city (Leipzig).
As for the non-jeans fans...don't worry...I have some goodies coming up for you next week.
Also...for wamtec clubmembers...I just uploaded the Vanna White in the pool clip from Wheel of Fortune to the members area today...along with 3 other video clips.
more stuff to come...as I step in it.
