On the last weekend before 1st of May, the Guilds Pole used to be erected across from the historical town hall. This corresponds to the wide-spread German tradition of May-Pole-erecting. Contrary to that this pole is not erected stealthily at night, but with a small ceremonial act, and with a big crane.
During the Corona pandemic this event was also cancelled, but never had been revived since. It looks like the public heaving of the guilt tree with a crane is a safety issue, as it was done right over the spectator's heads. Instead, the guild pole stands the whole year in its place.
There is still an event for its initiation, but unstead of the big pole there is a miniature version that is paraded through town, with the fanfare group ahead and the craftsmen behind. After the parade there is a small ceremony.
