10 June 2019, Saxony-Anhalt, Hergisdorf: At the traditional dirty pig festival, small children, dressed as so-called runners, stand at a mud dump. At this folk festival, which traditionally takes place at Whitsuntide, men jump into a mud hole again and again to drive out the winter. Runners dressed in white, depicting the summer, walk in between with long whips until the last dirty pig is driven out of the mud. Photo: Matthias Bein/dpa-Zentralbild/dpa
