Liachtbratl Monday.

from Daniela Kontopirakis
Summer fades. Days grow shorter. The season shifts. And then it’s here again: Liachtbratl Monday—a tradition deeply rooted in our region’s history.
The tradition
Liachtbratlmontag used to mark the first day of autumn when artificial light was needed again in the workshops. Candles and lanterns were too expensive in summer. So the journeymen would stop work. The masters would treat them to a roast, accompanied by wine or beer. It was a gesture of appreciation that fostered a sense of community and marked the start of the darker season in a festive way. Since 2013, the custom has been recognised as part of UNESCO’s cultural heritage – and remains alive in tradition to this day.
Why we celebrate
We make a conscious effort to keep this custom alive. It’s about welcoming autumn. Spending time together. Combining tradition with enjoyment. At Poststube 1327, head chef Stefan Griessler and his team invite you to experience this spirit – authentic, contemporary and full of flavour.
Let’s get together!
This year, Liachtbratlmontag falls on 5 October 2026. From 12 noon, the Dampfplauderer will be setting the mood with live music. Dance, sing along, party – let’s celebrate autumn together.
Whether with friends, family or, in true tradition, with your colleagues – this evening is all yours. Full of tradition, music and good vibes. The perfect way to welcome the season. We’d love to have you there.
