Trommerball 2023: Seven Ravensburg high schools celebrate tradition

tradition and community at the rod festival days

The annual rod festival in Ravensburg is not only a place of celebrations, but also a reflection of the community and the cultural values ​​that are maintained here. A highlight of the festival is traditionally the drummer ball, which was once again organized by the dedicated drummer corps of the Ravensburger high schools.

The drummer ball: a sign of cohesion

The drummer ball was a special moment at which the range of engagement and the connection of the schools became visible. For the first time in the history of the drummer corps, seven Ravensburger high schools represented the city together. This was emphasized by rod captain David Nuber in his speech. The interaction of the various schools illustrates how important the community cohesion is for the youth in Ravensburg.

an impressive start

The festive evening began with the solemn move in the drummer corps. The drummer brides, dressed in magnificent robes, delighted the audience with their demanding dances, which they had practiced for months under the direction of Moni Geiger and her son Daniel Zimmermann. This dazzling start created a festive atmosphere that captivated the guests.

The meaning of tradition

Rutenhauptman David Nuber reflected on the 159-year tradition of the festival and emphasized the need to adapt to the time changes. "We stick to our roots, but continue to develop steadily in order to remain relevant even in modern times," said Nuber and thus gave an outlook on the future orientation of the drummer corps.

a festival of diversity and change

This year's drummer ball is more than just a highlight of the rod festival. It symbolizes the change that is going on in the community and the openness with which traditions are lived in Ravensburg. The participation of the seven schools also underlines the diversity that shapes the festival celebration in this city and combines the generations.
