Easter bonfire in the village
19.04.2025 - 19.04.2025
What is a traditional Easter bonfire in East Frisia? And what is the difference to the normal Easter fires in the rest of Germany? The organisers of the Easter bonfire at the harbour on Juist are happy to answer these and many other questions.
Here's a little foretaste: At the East Frisian Easter bonfire, a doll is hung over the fire, which burns when the flames get high enough. This doll is the personification of winter, which is driven out and makes way for spring.
The Easter bonfire is accompanied by a barbecue and cold drinks.
