The Easter rolls of Burg (Spreewald)
At this place, we would like to thank "Foto Steffen" from Burg for the text and pictures.Children went to their godfathers every year on the 1st or 2nd Easter feast days to fetch the Easter roll together with 3 Easter eggs, a gingerbread, a little fasting pretzel and a cup or a scarf.
The Easter roll in Burg has a special shape, it is obviously similar to a Spreewald punt and approximately 40 to 50 cm long, 20 cm wide and 2 cm thick. But it actually symbolizes a palm leaf. In other villages of the Spreewald the Easter roll is twisted from the three dough strands and symbolizes the saint Trinity.
The flat wheaten flour pastries from Burg were usually already baked 8 or 14 days before. They let them get hard and then dipped into the sweetened coffee or milk. Every easter time the bakery Mieth from burg is baking Easter rolls. For advance orders call this following number:
