Walpurgis Night is named after the abbess Saint Walpurga who lived in the 8th century and who was canonized on May 1 around the year 870. The eve of May Day in Germany is traditionally celebrated with meeting friends and dancing, alluding to the gathering of witches awaiting the arrival of spring. In big cities of the country like Berlin and Hamburg, the night - also traditionally - often kicks off leftist May Day riots. AFP PHOTO / TOBIAS SCHWARZ
