Movies: Gickelschlagen.
The game of “Gickelschlagen” (“rooster-hitting”) is played in a small Bavarian village on the Monday before Mardi Gras. Its origins are unclear: all that is known for sure is that in the 1960s, the oldest villagers said it had been a tradition for as long as they could remember, meaning it was certainly established by the end of the 19th century.
