The so-called Bergstreittag is a beautiful centuries-old tradition and is celebrated on 22 July, the church memorial day and former feast day of Mary Magdalene in Schneeberg. The four quarterly sermons introduced in 1649 remained in place until 1845. These sermons were then abolished in favour of a single day, 22 July, which fell on Mary Magdalene. The Freiberg Mining Office recommended that this day should be celebrated with a festival and a mountain parade. In 1846, the Royal Ministry of Finance issued a decree to celebrate St Mary Magdalene's Day with a sermon and a magnificent mountain procession. The last major procession took place in July 1913. The First World War put an end to these processions. The tradition was not revived until July 1933, 528th Bergstreittag, mountain parade, Schneeberg, Saxony, Germany, Europe
