Der Komödienstadel - Die Maibaumwache
If a territorial reform hadn't forced Oberzwickelbach and Unterzwickelbach to have a joint mayor and thus triggered a veritable war between the villages, landlady Anni Schwirbler wouldn't be so annoyed that her customers aren't coming. Her "Zwickel" - as Anni's pub is called - is located right on the border between two village breweries that have been at loggerheads for years.
