125 Jahre Trachtenvereine in Bayern

submitted 8March, 2008 by C. Marquardt The Bayerische Trachtenverband will celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Trachtenvereine in Bayern by bringing special attention to the Trachteng'wand. They have created a unique logo and a motto, "Jahr der G'wandkultur" to help publicize this theme throughout 2008. In the center of the logo is the Bavarian Raute in blue, the Fränkischen Rechens in red, and a Trachten hat as a symbol for Tracht and Bavarian G'wand. Around the logo are the words Tracht, Wertvoll, Bodenständig, Zeitlos. (Tracht: valuable, original, timeless).
