Cologne Carnival, the exuberance and festivities in the city

Posted by admin in Cologne Landmarks, Cologne Tour, Fun, Guide, Tips | Leave a comment

The Cologne Carnival, the famous festival of the city is being organized there at every year in Cologne, Germany. Conventionally, the “fifth season” (carnival season) is quite suited for the carnival festivities and therefore the celebrations starts at the 11 minutes past 11 on the 11th of November. The Carnival spirit, however, somehow gets subdued or gets suspended due to the arrival of Christmas. But once again starts with the renewed vigor by the coming of the New Year.

The time of enjoyment thus is of merrymaking in the streets is officially declared open at downtown square Alter Markt on the Thursday just before the start of Lent. Street carnival, that is a long week street festival is also named as the “the crazy days”, is organized between the Fat Thursday (Weiberfastnacht) and ends on Ash Wednesday (Aschermittwoch). The primary characteristics of this carnival are Rose Monday, just before the Ash Wedenesday. During these days the people of Cologne keeps roaming from this place to another one. The typical greeting during the festival is Kölle Alaaf!, a Kölsch phrase that even can be translated being as “Cologne above all!”

At the carnival there three people from the crowd are selected as the Dreigestirn and then are given the titles of Jungfrau, Prinz, and Bauer (virgin, prince and farmer) to them and they in return of privileges pay larges sum of money to the carnival. The carnival prince is recognized as the highest symbol of the festivities in carnival and leads the main parade throughout the week. Where as the Jungfrau (“Virgin”) is always dressed by a man as a female. All the three characters are shown as trio as from since 1883. Before that they used to be individual characters, but there entered into the Cologne carnival as in the 1820s.

As already referred The Prince is also told as to be the Seine Tollitaet and is one of the most valuable persons as during the Cologne carnival.  His float is the final one in the large parade that occurs on the Shrove Monday. The naming as “prince” is been adopted from 1872, yet earlier its name there was “Held Carneval” (hero carnival), the personification of carnival. The farmer keeps the title of “Seine Deftigkeit”. As Cologne is a big city, the farmer therefore is a stately guy. He shows the boldness of the old privileged imperial city of Cologne. The official carnival along with its parades and stage shows is organized by the Festkomitee Kölner Karneval (Cologne Carnival Celebration Committee) that was established in 1823. Side by Side carnival festivities are getting organized throughout the city’s bars, clubs and local communities.
