Schieweschlawe 2025

" The Schieweschlawe celebrates the arrival of spring, or rather, chases away winter! This is done by throwing a flaming disc: the disc symbolizes the sun, which should shine down on the valley. This fire-throwing also chased away evil spirits to attract prosperity for the New Year... "

The Schieweschlawe is an important tradition in Alsace, and particularly in the village of Wintzenheim-Kochersberg, which aims to chase away the evil spirits of winter by throwing flaming wooden discs made from handcrafted wood. Meet on the hill above the village hall.
