The tree is still erected today using only muscle power. A great spectacle, especially for the spectators. The Grafenhausen Music Society provides a fitting backdrop to this event with traditional brass band music.
The trunk of the maypole is adorned with 20 plaques bearing the coats of arms of craftsmen. The maypole is held in the so-called "multi-purpose hole" by a sturdy metal frame on which there is a movable element. A total of 300 kilograms of hot-dip galvanised steel ensure that the maypole has the necessary stability.
