The article, based on the field ethnographic research, held among German inhabitants of Perm Krai, the Republic of Bashkortostan and Orenburg and Chelyabinsk Oblast, considers ritualism of the summer period of the Ural Germans. The mentioned period included such festivals as Midsummer Day and the Feast of Saints Peter and Paul. Some local traditions include ritual journeys and rainmaking rites. The study of ritualism of the summer period among the Ural Germans is conducted in comparison with common German traditions and customs characterizing other groups of Russian Germans.
