<p>Der Sommertagszug gehört zu den Festen die sich in der Zeit zwischen Winter und Frühling ansiedeln. Traditionell wird dieses Fest und ähnliche Feste an dem Sonntag Laetare angesetzt, der im Volksmund auch Sommertag genannt wird. Urkundliche Belege über dieses Fest gehen nicht über das 16. Jahrhundert hinaus. Beschrieben wird der Brauch in dem "Weltbuch" des Schwaben Sebastian Frank, das 1534 erschien. Der Brauch besteht darin, das Kinder mit bunt geschmückten Stecken durch die Stadt ziehen, und folgen 2 Figuren die den Sommer (grüne Blätter und bunte Bänder) und Winter (weiße Bänder und Stroh) darstellen. Die Stecken sind mindestens 50 cm lang und mit bunten Bändern geschmückt, obenauf ein Buchsbaum Strauß, eine Bretzel und ein ausgeblasenes Ei. Diese Stecken sind ein wesentliches Requisit. Früher wurde die Rinde der Haselruten spiralförmig eingeschnitten und vorsichtig von der Rute gelöst und hing herunter. Die bunten Bänder und die aufgesteckte Bretzel mit dem Ei gehen auf das 18 jh. Zurück. Man zieht singend durch die Straßen und singt das Sommertagslied. Die älteste Bezeugung dieses Liedes liefert uns unsere Liselotte von der Pfalz in einem ihrer vielen Briefe an ihre Stiefschwester die Raugräfin Luise von Degenfeld:</p>

<p>Vorm Rathaus, wenn derZug am Ziel angekommen ist, kämpft der Sommer gegen den Winter, letztere verliert und wird auf dem Platz verbrant. Es werden heutzutage Tänze und Vorführungen geboten von den Schulen des Stadtgebietes. Auch Musikvereine und Kapellen marschieren mit und machen Musik, dazu wird gesungen. Es werden nicht nur das Sommertagslied gesungen, auch Frühlingslieder wie z.B. "Winter Ade" und "Alle Vögel sind schon da"</p>
<p>Der Sommertagsumzug war im laufe der Zeit durch Verbote, Desinteresse und andere Umstände fast verschwunden und wurde vom Heidelberger Gemeinnützigen Verein 1893 wieder ins Leben gerufen. Seitdem wird er jedes Frühjahr wieder abgehalten</p>
<p>Dieser Brauch wird in verschiedenen Variationen in der näherern Umgebung (Odenwald und Bergstraße) abgehalten</p>

Traditionally it is held on the 3rd Sunday of Lent (Laetare) around the middle of March. This Sunday is called among the locals "Summerday". Documentation about this festival is dated back to the 16 th century but is probably older. It is described in the "Weltenbuch" of the swabian Sebastian Frank, who describes this as a procession of children carrying long sticks, decorated with colorful ribbons, topped with a pretzel and a blown out eggshell and some greenery (picture top left hand corner). Walking in a procession singing the summerday song and following 2 figures dressed up as Summer (with green boughs and colorful ribbons) and Winter (white ribbons and straw) Winter and Summer do a show fight at the end of the procession which ends in front of the town hall. Summer always wins and the figure of winter is burnt.</td>

<p>Princess Liselotte, daughter of Prince Elector Carl Ludwig, describes the procession and the song in one of her many letters to her halfsister Luise of Degenfeld. A different version is sung today alongsigde with other spring songs. The schools of town participate and produce short dance presentations and the musical groups walk along and play the melodies. The tradition had almost disapeared until in Heidelberg in1893 the custom was reawakened by a comission of citizens and is now part of the anual regular celebrations in Heidelberg and the surrounding countryside</p>
