Biebernheimer story (s) part 2
The living space has tripled in the last 100 years. The residents mostly earn their living abroad, up to 100km and more in the vicinity. At the village square “An der Bach”, the “Backes” and some half-timbered houses still bear witness to old times. There is also the fountain with the basalt statue of the "squeeze". From the Steinkaut he now towers over his village of Biebernheim as a steel statue. "Who's the curb? Oos! "This slogan of the kids at the fair, which accompanies the" Biewerumer Quetschekerb ", explains its special significance in everyday village life. Every year at the beginning of September, when the" Quetsche "(plums) are ripe, young and old, people who have moved and moved, Biebernheimers meet , Neighbors and guests and celebrate the Quetschekerb together. The Quetschehannes has been the symbol of the Quetschekerb since 1882. According to oral tradition, a sugar confectionery seller from the Hunsrück is said to have been the model for the fair. Other Rhenish traditions have certainly also left their mark. Every year in the summer months before the curb - for more than 100 years - defined age groups of young people are busy "building" the Quetschehannes doll and the fair bouquet and preparing the fair - with top hats, tailcoats, white trousers, black boots, one With a cigar in his mouth and decorated with a branch of plums, he accompanies the fair youth with the fair bouquet during the entire period n Notch when moving through the village, in the festival tent, at the traditional morning pint on the Wackenberg ... until Hannes is held responsible for everything that (supposedly) bad happened at the end of the notch and is burned on Tuesday evening. So the Hannes is not only a symbol of the squeeze notch, but also a sign of the desired and lived village togetherness.
