Germany’s ‘fisher king’ contest should be open to women, court rules


Fisher’s Day ‘five hundred years old’Every summer on Fisher’s Day, participants jump into the Memminger Stadtbach (the local stream) and fetch trout out of the water with giant nets. Due to the significance of the case, the regional court has allowed the possibility of an appeal at the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe. Christiane Renz, the complainant against the Fisher’s Day rules, says she’s ready for next year’s event.
