Am Pfingstmontag wird ein Bursche in einer Scheune in grünes Laub eingehüllt. Dieser Butz wird in einem Reiterumzug mitgeführt und in der Mitte des Dorfes symbolisch getötet. Der Umzug endet auf einer Wiese, wo als Abschluß ein Pferderennen stattfindet. Sieger ist der Reiter, der den geschmückten Maibaum am Ende der Rennbahn im Vorbeireiten an sich reißen kann. Brauchträger sind die 20-21jährigen Burschen.

In a barn, a young man is enveloped in green foliage. This veiled figure is then led round in a procession of riders, and killed symbolically in the middle of the village. The procession ends on a meadow, where a horse-race serves as finale. The winner is the horseman who, riding past, succeeds in seizing hold of a decorated maypole at the end of the track.
