Perscht

Every year around the time of the Raunächte, disguised figures run through Kirchseeon. In the village south-east of Munich, the tradition of the Perschtenläufe is alive and well. The “Perschtenbund Soj” association organizes eleven runs through the village, so that every single house is visited by the Perschten.
In contrast to many other Perchten runs in the Alpine region, Kirchseeon is not about scares or horror. Instead, they parade through the streets with drums and chimes. Dances and chants are performed. The Perschten wish the people of Kirchseeon “a happy year”.
The leporello shows who is behind the masks and keeps the tradition of the Perschtenläufe alive.
