The Black Forest is a large forested mountain range in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwest Germany. The card shows some traditional Black Forest costumes. Those are still worn today on certain public holidays and in processions and folkloric events in many places in the Black Forest. The Bollenhut is a formal hat worn by Protestant women from the Black Forest villages of Kirnbach, Gutach and Hornberg-Reichenbach. It is a broad-brimmed white straw hat topped with fourteen woollen pom poms which differ in color depending on the marital status of the wearer. Married women wear black poms poms, while unmarried women wear red.
