The spring singing of the Ismaning traditional costume club “D'Roaga Buam” on Saturday was a complete success. G'Stanzl, music and dance delighted the audience in the Bürgersaal.
Ismaning – Finja stalks into the hall with a cheeky look – dressed in Miesbach traditional costume, red skirt, black bodice, white blouse, green hat with eagle down and red flowers on the neckline. With her left arm pressed firmly on her hip, the four-year-old looks into the audience. She is the youngest participant in the traditional spring singing, to which the Ismaning traditional costume association “D'Roaga Buam” has now invited people to the Citizens' Hall.
The traditional club's goal of preserving the authentic core of the Bavarian way of life for future generations has been very successful
Little Finja skilfully makes her rounds as a member of the youth dance group that opens the event. Brother Xaver (7) and sister Sofia (10) are also there. While Xaver plays and Sofia spins, Finja waves carelessly to the audience. She is the undisputed star and, along with her two siblings, proof that the offspring of the Ismaning traditional costume group are already much more than just in the starting blocks.

“Tradition and folk music are by no means out,” confirms board member Daniel Malovetz. The goal of the traditional club, to preserve the authentic core of the Bavarian way of life for future generations, to pass it on to young people and to represent it to the outside world, has been very successful. “It’s also about having a lot of fun. We train, i.e. dance, with each other every two weeks – young and old. Cohesion is important. The difficulty is that the children stay with us even as teenagers, because there is a lot of leisure activities on offer.”
30 active adults and 25 children and young people at the Ismaninger traditional costume club
Around 30 adults and 25 children and young people are actively involved. The club, which was founded in 1958 and has 200 members, has had spring singing and music making for 38 years. The name “Roaga” comes from the heron feather that the men wear on their hats, three narrow feathers in the style that the heron wears as a headdress. The Deandl wear eagle down as a hat decoration.

The Waldram dance music and singers also show that tradition and home are often a family affair. Three brothers, Sebastian, Benedikt and Tobias Brustmann, and brother-in-law Dominic Feichtner are the second generation to sing traditional Bavarian folk music, while Hannes Bolzmacher and Rupert Gantner complete the dance music. With the Rettenbach singers Gabi Zimmerer, Rosina Rumberger and Monika Reininger, the trio Kätzlmeier/Zellner with harp, bass and Quetschn as well as the humorous moderation of the Gstanzl singer “Kupferschmied Sepp”, the organizer of the evening, Claudia Manlik, once again has a happy hand and balanced tact when selecting the contributors. “We have been coming for many years,” says Maria Hauländer. She comes from Grasbrunn with her husband Egon. “We love Bavarian folk music, even though we are not Bavarian, but originally from Westphalia. But this date is fixed every year.”
