The hr report on the Grenzgang dates the figure of the Moor to 1809. The source it cites states “since time immemorial.” I have verified the three historical claims in the report—and disclosed where I myself am not neutral.

Every seven years, the town of Biedenkopf in Central Hesse celebrates the “Grenzgang,” a festival that attracts up to 20,000 visitors. One of the festival’s main characters paints his face black—a practice that has been criticized as “blackfacing.” Hessischer Rundfunk addressed the debate in two reports in August 2026. This article focuses on the historical information presented in those reports.
