The harvest crown is a wattle that is made in autumn at the end of the grain harvest and is closely related to the harvest wreath. The tradition of the harvest crown can still be found today in the southern federal states of Germany and Austria, and is strongly influenced by the Catholic tradition of festivals such as Thanksgiving and the Day of Repentance and Repentance. The tradition goes back to the middle of the 19th century and consists of forming a large crown from the last spikes of a successful harvest year, which functions, for example, as decoration for the gift table at the Thanksgiving Day. The harvest crown is therefore not put on a specific person, but should rather thank God with its voluminous shape as king of the people for this year's harvest yield. Since the crown usually measures one meter or more in size, a stable wire mesh must first be made, around which the individual ears are braided. Today, the tradition is carried out primarily by rural women, who are often organized as an association or association and for whom the festive preparations for Thanksgiving are an essential task.
