The Dietrams cellers have to do without a nice tradition this year. The "Zeller Lehards" cannot take place due to the corona pandemic. 

Dietramszell - Due to the corona pandemic, the Dietramszell community canceled the traditional Leonhardi trip on the third Saturday in July. "According to the current status, implementation is not possible," Mayor Josef Hauser wrote in a press release. Since the preparatory work and preparations are very intensive and should have started now, the municipality decided to take this step in consultation with the responsible persons of the association for the conservation of the Leonhardi Church, the Lehardsladers and the landlord. Likewise, the fair and marquee operation can not be held - it should run from July 18 to 20.

The pilgrimage to St. Leonhard, popularly known as “Zeller Lehards”, is attested to between 1578 and 1591, Hauser writes. When a horse epidemic raged in the Zell region in 1685, Provost Marcellinus Obermayr from the Augustinian canons at Dietramszell had promised to build a chapel in honor of St. Leonhard if the horses of the monastery yard were spared. Obermayr's request was fulfilled - and he kept his promise: the provost had a little church - the forerunner of today's pilgrimage church - built and the annual church festival celebrated on the third Saturday in July every year. Since then, Dietramszeller Lehards has taken place with supplications, worship, rides, fair and marquee. It would have been the 363rd edition this year.  peb
