Ok.. I will be posting the first bunch of pics soon.
Unfortunately I won't be able to edit and post all of them, as there are just *way* too much. I think I should start with the older ones, some of which I already posted before (but quite some time ago).

You're right, this is an initiation rite (also called 'printer's baptism') for people in printing and media industry who have just finished their apprenticeship. Usually, they know what will happen to them. After this ceremony - which ususally involves being dunked into the water and drinking a large can of beer afterwards - they receive their 'Gautschbrief', a certificate which proves they are full members of the printer's guild.
Of course this is not an "official" certificate anymore - just a nice, ancient tradition which still exists in many places around Austria, Germany and Switzerland.
In fact, I'm a big fan of those ceremonies. I have visited several of them during the last few years and also took *lots* of pictures (and also have posted a couple of them quite some time ago). I think I should start again posting pics here, if anyone's interested...

It is a kind of initiation rite for people in the printing branch. One of our German friends should be able to tell us whether it is students starting their school in this branch or those that just finished those schools |

Hi...
Great pics. Could someone tell me what Gautschfest is? It looks like so much fun. Do these people know they are going to be soaked in advance, or do they just get picked at random? I guess my question is do they have any idea they may get wet when they go? Thanks. |
