The maypole from the town square in Pregarten has disappeared earlier than planned. However, no perfidious thieves were responsible for this, but weather caps: violent gusts of wind in the course of a thunderstorm had cut the top of the 20 meter high tree on Sunday at lunchtime. The upper part including the wreath construction detached and hung only poorly on the trunk. The rest of the tree threatened to become unstable.

Witnesses who had observed the incident raised the alarm. At around 1 p.m., the emergency services of the fire brigades Pregarten and Tragwein were alerted under the operational keyword “Baum threatens to overturn”. They secured the endangered area around the maypole and first brought the top of the murderer to the floor.
