      Waren die von vielen Zuschauern verfolgten Titelkämpfe bis Freitagabend, wo es das traditionelle Spanferkelessen zum Ende der Halbfinals gab, von der Sonne verwöhnt, so hatte der Eisheilige Bonifatius am Samstag die Temperaturen in den einstelligen Bereich sinken lassen, was aber nicht für nachlassende Stimmung auf und neben den Plätzen sorgte.
      The title-determining games, which many viewers eagerly watched, lasted until the evening of Friday, where the traditional eating of the piglet at the end of the semifinal took place, being treated kindly by the sun, then the ice saint Bonifatius had, on Saturday, let the temperatures sink to the one-digit area, which, however, did not result in a dampering of the mood on and near the plazas.
