"De Oewerpetters" presentations her show  in the  Buerbeertracht (Farmbeer costume) from the Hanoverian Wendland about 1850.
 
The Buerbeer-festival was a party for maidens and farmhands in former times and took place on one of the great farms. Then the respective farmer was obliged to serve all maidens and farm-hands of the whole village during this day.
 
In contrast to the celebration costume which differed only by a coloured silk apron from the Buerbeercostume, one carried on the Buerbeerfesivalt a white, hand-weaved linen apron with lace trimming. But also artistic embroideries were to be found partial. Furthermore a white linen shirt. And about that a black corsage on which a small silk scarf was fixed belongs to the Buernbeertracht. Under the linen apron was carried a plain rock from woollen.
 
As a headcovering one put on a red cap the so-called "Timpmütz". The golden Timpmütz was carried only from the married woman by special celebrations.
