The Klasaohm Festival on Borkum Island, featuring costumed men striking women with cowhorns, faces backlash following a report highlighting its violent tradition. In response, the organizers and police vow to eliminate violence during the event, while urging victims to report incidents. The festival’s organizing group, Borkumer Jungens, has distanced itself from the practice, stating it will be abolished. However, criticisms arise regarding the portrayal of the tradition, with local officials claiming it reflects a skewed perception of the community.
