Where do the bathers come from and what does the smugglers' binge have to do with it?

The bathers at the smugglers' feast have aspecial significance. Their presence brings much joy and they are an important part of the tradition. But where do the bathers come from and what is the story behind them?

There are many myths about the origin of bathers. Some refer to old folk beliefs that say that bathers are souls in search of eternal joy. Others say that they are pirates who tell wild stories at the smugglers' binge. Another theory says that they are a symbol of resistance against the authorities.

In fact, the bathers come from a time long past. During the great smuggling movement of the 18th century, they were an important part of the underground. They travelled as travellers and told wild stories on their journeys, which helped to entertain and encourage people. And when they stopped in a town, they would organise a wild smugglers' feast, entertaining everyone present and helping them dance and drink.

Nowadays, the bathers are still very popular and are an important part of the smugglers' feast. When they turn up, they spread a lot of cheer.

Das Schmugglergelage hat eine lange Geschichte und eine vielseitige Herkunft. Es ist bekannt, dass die ersten Bader, die das Schmugglergelage erfunden haben, die Brüder Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm waren. Sie waren für ihre Märchen und Märchensammlungen bekannt und haben das Schmugglergelage als Ort für ihre Treffen benutzt. Die „Schmuggler“ waren zu Beginn ein kleiner Kreis von Bäckern, Köchen und anderen Bürgern, die sich zu Treffen zusammenfanden, um zu sprechen, zu lachen und einander Geschichten zu erzählen. Sie nannten sich nach dem Ort, an dem sie sich trafen, das Schmugglergelage. Heute ist Schmugglergelage ein bekanntes Event, das eine einzigartige Kombination aus kulinarischem Erlebnis und kulturellen Traditionen anbietet.
