Because I myself, as already described, not a big fan of the Rhineland carnival am, but find myself more drawn to the Alemannic Fasnacht is, here described to some detail. In many cities like Freiburg, Rottweil, Constance, Basel and Lucerne or Telfs in Austria, for example, one may, in Germany, particularly in Baden Wuerttemberg, or at our Swiss and Austrian neighbors, a very primeval and cheerful bustle foolish - closely modeled on the traditional winter and exorcism old Alemannic days take in a Christianized form. In the many romantic old towns and around the old university strongholds, you can celebrate in particular, even in old sheets or scary costumes through the streets and to the many private or organized by the university communities Parties . enjoy The fools in the street parades Alemannic carnival wear the traditional Häs and next to the bands there are Guggenmusik. The figures are less military way, but are mainly traditional demons, witches and fools and figures Masks and animals. There, too, there are cars that are running often pulled over politics. The meetings are the largest mask Rottweiler Narrensprung, the Basel carnival and the carnival in Lucerne. But rather the way in which I personally prefer, how to celebrate my studies, "Fassnet" ...
Alemannic Fasnacht is very different from the Rhine "Jeck" Carnival. This heart warming and traditional carnival is started in about the way described below. Of course there may be several regional variations. It begins at Monday after Ash Wednesday at 4:00 with the clock Morgestraich. It lasts exactly 72 hours and will end on Thursday morning at 4:00 with the clock Endstraich. During this time the inner cities are dominated by the revelers who move to their cliques in the streets, pubs and shops. Many of the carnival as "the three scheenschte Dääg" (the best three days) is called.
Each of revelers wearing a costume with a mask (mask). Including the face and entire body are covered, the carrier the costume is not visible. It is good form that revelers can not be seen in public. The cliques who, except for Morgestraich and on carnival Tuesday, uniform costumes, most of the "subject" of the clique are adjusted. For the costumes knows the imagination is the limit. Often the larvae of public figures (politicians and other celebrities) are modeled, sometimes cartoon characters or animals. There are also traditional larvae, reminiscent of the French Army of the Napoleonic wars, Harlequins or popular with individuals and cliques car Waggis larvae.
Most striking are the pipers and drummers-cliques. This play their way through the city marches, their piccolos are accompanied by the rhythm of their drums Basel. The inner cities are thus in these three days to the place of the biggest concert of the world Pfeifer. A clique usually consists of a vanguard (space artist), the pipers, drummers and the drum major (drums). The gangs do not follow this specific routes (except Cortège). It is always before me, that the path crosses several cliques. In the case remains a clique and are simply waiting until the other has passed. If you stand as spectators of a clique in the way, one is the vanguard friendly pushed aside.
addition to the whistle-cliques take Guggenmusik-Groups with brass instruments at the carnival. These are not however to be found in Morgestraich, but only in the Cortège on Monday and Wednesday and in the evenings, especially on Tuesday evening at the Guggenheim concerts. Continue attracting many individuals and small groups through the streets. They are called "Schyssdräggziigli" and throwing, for example, dressed as Waggis (Referred to as Basel German Räppli ) "unsuspecting" audience with confetti or stuffing it that sometimes in the jacket.
Most cliques have made for a so-called carnival subject that is presented during the carnival. It is on issues of contemporary history, is practiced in most of those satirical criticism. The subjects are presented in Morgestraich on lanterns. When Cortège are also the costumes and a prop often adapted to the subject. Virtually all gangs also distribute appropriate Zeedel (Handout with ironic verses).
Morgestraich
The Morgestraich on Monday morning at 4:00 clock is the start of Carnival. At this time, the city blacked out completely, clear the city works there, the street lights. The only light comes from the lanterns of the cliques who present to their subjects. Before the cliques is a large, worn up to 3.30 m high Zuglaterne or rolled on a cart. Most assets will also bear a head lamp. In some cliques are the uniform and serve as a recognition of belonging to the clique, as the revelers at Morgestraich traditionally do not wear uniform costumes. This open dress code called Charivari.
Morgestraich to have the most pubs and inns opened in the city, many of which remain open throughout the 72-hour carnival. The spectators enjoy the traditional carnival food, soup and onion pie or Käsewähe (flat cake with a spicy cheese that is usually eaten warm).
Cortège
Cortège As the carnival parades are called to be held on Monday and Wednesday afternoon through downtown. The parades run on two fixed routes, an inner and an outer, run against each other. The moves do not run, such as the Rose Monday in Cologne and Mainz, from A to B but to circulate, each clique starts at a different location on the route. Here, each clique Although a fixed departure point and a departure time shall, however, place and duration of breaks spontaneously established themselves. Thus, it is therefore no particular order of the cliques, but this changes constantly and is not predictable. Therefore set the Basel because even important that it is precisely not handle a move. (The fact that the commonly used name "Cortège" is nothing but the French word for relocation, is not perceived as a contradiction. Another name often heard is "the route run".)
heard on Tuesday evening, the area around Market Square and the downtown Guggenmusik groups to ensure that their brass instruments in the mood. The Pfeifer groups pull back in time more in the side streets.
remain Groups on their march through the city every now and then want to play for the audience present four to five pieces and then move on. It is not unusual that the groups sometimes go in coffee shops and farms and offer the guests gathered there to serenade.
Children and Family Fasnacht
The Child and Family Carnival will be held on Tuesday. Again, there are parades through the city again, but do not show the cliques in groups, but especially families with their children. Sometimes families who have jointly prepared a car. If the assets come from different cliques, one sees the various larvae (masks) in a heap.
Of the children, especially the little ones, but is not expected that they completely wrap up in heavy costumes. The most common linings in addition to the traditional figures, cowboys, princesses and, more recently, especially in younger children more often animals such as dinosaurs .
lanterns
During Carnival, including the Alemannic region beautiful, self-made lanterns. They are used for parades and exhibitions. From Monday evening to Are Wednesday morning on a course, usually in front of the cathedral, exhibited all the lanterns of the carnival cliques. Especially at night when the lanterns are lit, the Cathedral Square offers an impressive picture.
The exhibition offers visitors and viewers the chance to see peace in the artistically created Zuglaternen and to study the sometimes very sarcastic verses.
cars and props exhibition
also refers to Monday evening last week largely concentrated in the inner city or in the military area, the exhibition of vehicles and props. The whole place is lit up at night with a nice atmosphere. Come to party and there are many parties, or just the restaurants in the old town, in addition to the guest meals and entertainment by Guggenmusik and scavenger banks will be offered. On Tuesday afternoon to take children on a small Waggis car a little ride and will be introduced to the carnival figure "Waggis.
Schnitzel benches
The Schnitzel Bank ("dr Bangg") continues the tradition of her on the street singers at. The Schnitzelbank singers make their ironic to sarcastic, witty manner, with dialect sung texts, in part, accompanied instrumental funny about events of the past year. Do you support post is mostly illustrations, which are presented as panels on a Helgen. One can regard the
Yakko's only in the broadest sense as a counterpart to the deckle Alemannic speech, that are more in the "Zeedel" , the note with the subject matter handled in verse which the Fasnacht cliques at Cortège . distribute
The Schnitzelbank singers come regularly on Monday and Wednesday evenings in the cafes and inns. A lot is heard today, however, on Tuesday, but then only to the clique cellars, the para-gastronomic restaurants of the carnival societies.
alleyways and Gugge
Ändstraich
The "Ändstraich (Endstreich), the end of Carnival. This event will largely unorganized in the last few minutes before 04.00 clock on Thursday morning instead. The assets are returning from the back alleys and unite with their cliques, each clique to another venue in the city selected. One last time, the Association drummed and whistled a march and "Women's Carnival" was adopted. With the stroke of four clock silenced the instruments and the larvae are removed.
Räppli (Confetti) throw
After the presentations, the local historian Räppli throwing a typical Basle tradition that has spread from there. While this is not conclusive, however, be frittered away in Basel during the three best days far more than Räppli such as Mainz and Cologne.
As confetti (small sweets) were originally called sugar pills, which were distributed to the parades and thrown into the crowd. However, this was the 19th Century prohibited. Until this ban was in lieu of confetti, the use of chaff usual. As a substitute they retrenched Papierschnippsel. In Basel-German by the way one speaks of "Räppli. As a viewer, one must always be on guard that we do not swamped with revelers by a Räppli or even "stuffed" (large amounts of confetti are applied under the clothing) is. There is an unwritten rule that active revelers (in costume and mask) Räppli not be switched on. As a popular destination but are viewers who do not wear badges.
on the routes of the Cortège Räppli cover the ground in the evening centimeters high. It is quite impressive that each of the next morning, the sanitation department where the paper turned around and driven away, has it that one hardly sees.
are often sold in bags only solid Räppli. This is for hygienic reasons, to prevent the lifting of Räppli from the ground on which mix the colors. Who raises, however, mixed-color Räppli, she has picked up and it can also be punished.
The Carnival in Lucerne, as opposed to the Basel competition to the big bang a big shower of confetti, the so-called "Fötzeliräge" rain down in which exploding sacks over the crowd snippets of newspaper can be.
lanterns (back) tuning in
(whistling into lanterns) The "Ladärnli yynepfyffe" takes place on Sunday evening before the carnival. Here, the (mostly) still shrouded lights from the studio, where they were made to be worn at the start dropping off carnival in central city or moved. 
adopt lanterns
The (leave lanterns) Ladärnli Verabschiide "takes place at night on Thursday of the carnival. Here, a clique-specific ritual is played out. Most of the whole clique forms a circle around their Ladärne (lantern) and voiced the Wettstein March, the Tagwacht, the retreat, the Basler Marsch, "le lancer" or some other composition. During the lecture, the lights inside the lantern slowly be erased. In most cases, this ritual takes place at exactly 4.00 clock at the end of Carnival, but sometimes earlier in the course of the evening, and the respective normally before the local pub.
Kulturelles
Charakteristisch ist die Vermummung der Teilnehmer mit Larven oder auch Schemmen (Masken), die meist aus Holz, in Ausnahmefällen aber auch aus Stoff, Papier, Ton, Blech oder Draht (sog. Drahtgaze ) bestehen. Die Kostümträger (in schwäbisch-alemannischen Gebieten Hästräger ) wechseln ihre Verkleidung ( Häs ) nicht von Jahr zu Jahr, sondern behalten sie immer bei. In manchen Gegenden ist es sogar üblich, sie über Generationen zu vererben.
In den meisten Orten des schwäbisch-alemannischen Raumes finden die first carnival events after the Christmas festivities on 6 January, Epiphany instead. There are also places where it's like Rhenish Carnival usual, the celebrations on 11 November start. According to tradition are the schemes of the Epiphany (larvae) dusted. From then on, "goht's degege," it held the first events and parades. The actual carnival begins, however, only with the Dunnschtig loud wake (the Thursday before Ash Wednesday), the highlight of the carnival. From that day on, more parades and events, and there are specialty such as carnival fritters cooked.
applies to the carnival beginning many Swabian-Alemannic Fools as a key differentiator for the carnival. Many see in the 6th January, the original date. Recent research agrees with this approach, however. Similar to the Mardi Gras begins on 11 November, a forty-day, pre-Christmas Lent. On St. Martin, therefore, similar traditions are observed, as during the carnival days. At the beginning of carnival season, the 11 developed 11. but only with the advent of Carnival in the 19 Century. Finally, would have a carnival that would have moved across the Advent and Christmas, the meaning of these days perfectly opposed.
The beginning of the Shrovetide season is celebrated loudly in many places. In Überlingen, Weingarten and Mark village fast the fools with their whip, in Rottweil klepfen the boys in the streets with a truck driver whip and cause a distinctive crack of the whip. In Villingen, the bells of the Haser, called roles, so long shaken by a loud noise until it is certain that not even the small dust grains neste everything in it is. In general you put on 6 January emphasis on cleanliness. In the area of the upper Neckar go black rebound tails from house to house to rid the mothballed like costumes from the dirt. undergo in Rottenburg am Neckar witches guests and furnishings of the inns of a similar treatment. At the same time, the carnival mask and Immendingen Möhringen a place of honor in the living room replaced. But the fools Schramberger your show deference to the motley, bless it by solemnly "I greet you elegant dress of the fool. If now emerged from years of your stay. And fill you with joy the great and small. You had consecrated the carnival in the 20th year of grace. ".
Candlemas
The fortieth day after Christmas, Candlemas second February, takes the number of carnival events in all locations again rising sharply. Almost everywhere, from that day Masch happy (Swabia), Straehle (Villingen), purring (Black Forest), Welschen (Schomberg), panting (Oberndorf) or reciting usual. Dabei werden bemerkenswerte Ereignisse des vergangenen Jahres von den Narren aufgegriffen und den Bürgern in unterhaltsamer Form dargeboten. Früher war man dazu maskiert und es waren verschiedenste Darstellungsformen üblich, beispielsweise die Moritat. Auch wurden die Taten der Mitbürger häufig in kleinerem Rahmen oder am Straßenrand glossiert. Heute hingegen finden sich die Menschen meist zu festgesetzten Zeiten in den Gaststätten eines Ortes zusammen und die Narren ziehen unmaskiert in Gruppen von Wirtshaus zu Wirtshaus. Als Darstellungsform werden häufig Vierzeiler gewählt, die durch einige Lieder ergänzt werden.
Auch if the Swabian-Alemannic carnival is essentially a road and inn carnival is light measurement begins with a brief period of hall events. Often the local clubs with their own balls to make their contribution to the carnival season.
Wednesday before Carnival
Originally, the Wednesday before Mardi Gras is not a traditional feast day of the Swabian-Alemannic Fools. Especially in the evening hours in the postwar period but established customs, that the actual carnival will kick off time. This includes the exclamations or Search the carnival in the Black Forest, as well as the invocation or mask the well cleaning in Upper Swabia.
down the carnival Tuesday
Shrove Tuesday is the day (or night) before the start of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday. The date of Ash Wednesday is 46 days before Easter Sunday is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon in spring.
The date of Easter derives from the Jewish Passover festival, commemorating the exodus of Jews from Egypt to the Jewish lunar calendar, always on 14 Nissan, so the 14th Day after the first new moon in spring celebrated and that was cause for Christ's crucifixion at the time, it was determined that the date of Easter always takes place on a Sunday.
Spring starts in the Gregorian calendar, introduced in 1582, basically on 21 March. It follows for the Easter Sunday the 22nd March as the earliest possible date, the 25th April as the latest. Thus, the time of the carnival on the calendar varies within a span of 35 days. Before Easter Sunday, Lent lasts 40 days. This one came on Tuesday in the 6th Week before Easter. After the Council of Benevento (1091) were also the Sundays of Lent are excluded and the beginning of Lent, therefore, brought forward six days on the Wednesday the 7th Week before Easter, Ash Wednesday. The earliest date for Ash Wednesday is thus the 4th February.
The old carnival
After the reform by the Council of Benevento, which is the date of the beginning of Lent was brought forward by six days, but remained still the original date (the Tuesday in the 6th week before Easter) in memory, especially in some rural areas, and in Protestant areas not recognized by this council decisions. Here, the carnival that is still almost a week later celebrated on Monday. These customs have been preserved as "old carnival" or "peasant carnival" to this day. Often then, the carnival was celebrated twice, which was then called to distinguish the peasant carnival the first, ending on Shrove Aschmittwoch Gent or Pfaff carnival. Examples of the "old carnival" is the "radio Sunday," the Hirschmentig in Furtwangen or the date of the Basler Fasnacht.
history
origins in medieval and early modern period
As the Rhenish Carnival has used up the Swabian-Alemannic carnival originated in celebrations that served to perishable foods before the start of Lent. These events are for all of Central Europe by the 13th Century proved. However, these were not comparable with today's carnival and regionally highly variable.
addition to excessive food consumption were from 14 Century customs such as dances, parades and carnival games usual. Here, too, food, first played a central role, such as the Schembartläufen, the carnival parades in Nuremberg guilds, especially in the late 15 and the early 16th Century economy had. Metzger also dances from other cities are full, at which the dancing butchers clung to sausage rings for cleaning.
After a theory of Munich folklorist Dietz-Rüdiger Moser moth, the contrast between the almost eight worldly pleasures and the wealth deprivation of Lent, but increasingly also interpreted theologically. brought in connection with the Augustinian doctrines of the two-state model, the carnival was soon the vicious state "civitas diaboli" equated, Lent but with the City of God "City of God". From this way of thinking out devils or demons could have developed as early carnival figures. Another central figure in the former carnival, the jester, was seen as the epitome of transience, alienation from God and death. While the research proceeded until the 1980s assumed that the carnival has a non-Christian origin, it is now agreed that the existence of the church necessary condition for the emergence of the carnival. It is also certain that was in the carnival often practiced criticism of government and church, which is not rarely led to bans carnival.
accounted for the Reformation in the Reformed areas not only during Lent, they also made the Carnival celebration in many parts of central Europe to an end. However, the custom was in some Protestant communities for some time. The Basler Fasnacht is often assumed, to celebrate their carnival later date due to the Reformation (called Bauer Carnival ) than the rest of the Swabian-Alemannic variety. This is however based on a decision of the Church in the 11th Century, do not count the Sundays of Lent as a fast day. Thus, the Ash Wednesday postponed by six days in the direction Beginning of the year. The Basel (and some other place), however, clung to the old one.
date was the picture of the Carnival of relatively simple shaped panels. With the advent of the Baroque period it was in the 17th Century to a significant enhancement and refinement of carnival figures. This is particularly true for the used masks that now instead of the current were carved out of clay or paper made from wood. Added to this was a distinct Italian influence, basing on the Commedia dell'Arte.
The Carnival and the loss thereof
Despite the appreciation of Baroque carnival came in the wake of the Enlightenment to the Reputation as a primitive, long-obsolete practice to be even older. According to this view have been abandoned in many places celebrations or even banned. That changed when started encouraged by the romance to develop the carnival. Starting from cities such as Cologne, where instead of the craftsmen, the educated middle class host the carnival (for now Cologne 1823) began, he quickly established itself in Central Europe, including in southwestern Germany. The original carnival existed a parallel, but was pushed back more and more.
until the end of the 19th Century came here separates the old ways again. Thus gave the example in Rottweil Narrensprung of 1903 cause to rethink, to be no longer than seven fools attended. Especially in the middle-class and rural districts of the Swabian-Alemannic area they felt patronized by the educated middle class dominated by the carnival and remembered, the trend of the times following, to the old traditions, Back to return ck. In the following years a number of blank old fools guilds have been founded.
development for today's carnival
beginning of the 20th Century began to fool the fools in guilds to organize associations and 1924, the Association of Swabian-Alemannic Carnival guilds (VSAN) was founded. Made it essential that national umbrella organization, the uncertain political situation and the numerous Carnival bans. Now they wanted to represent the interests of the fool to the policy offensive.
parallel to organizational restructuring of the fools guild since the beginning of the 20th Century, numerous carnival figures redesigned. Only a few carnival were actually received historical Häser that could be worn in the new century almost unchanged. Much more often single or Hästeile larvae were present, which could not assign more readily, but were now combined in new figures. There were frequent but also the complete redevelopment of Hästrägergruppen. 1933, in Offenburg the Witches' Guild, based on a mixture of fairy tale and was based medieval witch, and did a witch, the carnival to a popular character of the Swabian-Alemannic carnival. However, there were much earlier carnival witch, 18 so in Tyrol since the Century. The old hag was not in the carnival is unknown, we are often subjected to since the Middle Ages to men women clothes for free to drive by the motto turvy world of carnival mischief. New, however, was the witch with a wooden mask, as an independent figure. Without precedent since then the number of their imitators. The growing prosperity in the postwar period saw a rapid growth of the fools guild, which have now also increasingly re-established in places that previously did not know any carnival tradition. Since the early 90s, there is a real boom in these new towns. For example, in the Swabian-Alemannic region become independent even in tight places carnival. No carnival figure benefited from this more than the witch. Their popularity makes for so long been a headache for the managers of the customs agencies, but they see through them the traditional carnival at risk similar with the prevalence of fools meeting. But the long-established guilds fools benefited in the postwar period to a high degree of increasing interest in their customs and rapidly increasing membership. Especially the operation carried out since the 90's television broadcast of the meeting of fools VSAN reached an audience of millions. An end to growth is in sight.
figures in the Swabian-Alemannic carnival
The number Alemannic carnival figures is now so vast. They usually occur during the events in figure types to separate, homogenous groups. Occasionally there are also Hästrägergruppen arising from different types of figures . Composed Most of these operate with each other then. Very popular here is the driver location in which a feral is chastised by several, equipped with whips is traditional. Examples of these are from the Fastnetsbutzerössle Weingarten, the Brieler Rößle from Rottweil or Werner's ass from Bad Waldsee. In many areas there are also single characters that often play a central role in the carnival of the particular place. Frequently originated from them over time whole figure families whose members have different characteristics and functions For example, the Gole Riedlingen.
Although in recent decades, many new Häsarten incurred, can allocate almost all specific types. Younger guilds are based mostly on that developed in post-war pattern, even if the following classification may be seen too closely.
devil figures
devil figures are likely among the oldest characters. Some Kleidle are hundreds of years old. For example, the Elzach Schuttig a devil figure who was in the Middle Black Forest originally disseminated widely. Today, more Devil is often called the single figure, the role of a witch, for example in the Offenburg witch craft. Triberg carnival is dominated by a devil figure in the 19th Century was created.
fools
fools are probably about as old and occur today in many different variants. On the white fools Baar are common. One of the oldest such carnival figures of Narro is one of Villingen as "the aristocrat Alemannic carnival" or the Hansel from Donaueschingen, and Hüfingen Bräunlingen. The Rottweiler bite and its counterpart in Gschell have an equally long tradition. White fools are represented by men and some fools jump during a partner with him, though this is usually not masked, and as in the case of Gretl from Donaueschingen with a simple dress. The ports of White fool consists of a white linen robe, which is elaborately painted or embroidered.
Compared with the baroque elegance of the white fools see Blätzle, Spättle- or Flecklenarren sometimes a bit rough from what is not least because it Häs is composed of old rags. Of course, these Häser with increasing wealth have been made much more difficult. Thus, the individual pieces of cloth in many guilds now umstickt by hand. In Spättlenarren there has been a different regional development. Wearing the traditional fools of Lake Constance and Upper Swabia region such as the Blätzlebuebe from Constance and Überlingen Hansel fabric masks are mainly in Black Forest fools in Furtwangen, or Offenburg Gengenbach wood larvae usual.
are a special feature of Spättlehansel Wolfach equipped as the only Hästrägergruppe in the Swabian-Alemannic region with a metal mask with movable lower jaw. In the border town of Laufen Castle on the Upper Rhine has been developed with the Narro-Altfischerzunft for centuries one Blätzlezunft with an almost aristocratic self-image, which also has the oldest, currently known wood larva in southwest Germany.
How much learned the Flecklenarren during the Baroque a strong refinement and it established the Frans fools as they are now found in Schomberg, or Rottweil.
Starting from Italy and is connected with the triumph of the carnival came in the 18th and 19 Century of Bajazzo on. One of the oldest such figures are likely to influence the Wolfach Rosle and Schell Hansele belong.
Almost all fools who attributes to himself, such as bells, the bladder of a pig, or mirror.
Wilde people
Compared with the other carnival characters were savage people relatively easy for farmers to produce and therefore very popular over the centuries. Häs you made from raw materials that exist on the land in abundance waren.Die primitive costumes of pine branches or Stoh. For example, originated straw bears, as they still are common in Wilflingen and Empfingen. Your Häs consists mainly of straw on plating or finishing is omitted entirely.
This is one reason for the lack of popularity of the savage people in our time, probably connected with the fact that the used Materials today are no longer so easy to get, particularly as a Häs only one season can be used and then made anew. In singing, the group has developed the Hoorige bear bears out of a straw, but is now sewn Häs can be reused from year to year and has a wooden mask. The same applies to the Welschkornnarro from Zell am Harmersbach. The nutshell Hansele from Wolfach form another type of wild man. Instead of straw is its Häs with over 3,000 nutshell halves sewn.
Waggis
The Waggis is actually a traditional mask the Basler Fasnacht, which is an Alsatian day laborers in the work of the Alsatian costume represent vegetable growers: blue shirt, white trousers, red tie, white collar, (too) large wooden shoes and sometimes a stocking cap. Traditional accessories are the cockade in the colors of the French flag (blue-white-red) and a string bag of vegetables, possibly also a huge bone or other clubs. The original red nose held as the excessive consumption of wine satirised out.
is from the original only to emphasize a point slightly enlarged nose in the meantime become a veritable monster, so that the larva of the present quasi Waggis is a parody of the parody. The Waggis is a gross habit and as such is supported more by car and cliques of individual larvae. Also for the children Waggis is often selected. For the drummers and pipers Waggislarve is rather unusual.
Maschke
Some Places along the Danube, such as in Ehingen and especially Munderkingen you meet in bars or on the street some fool or small groups that present themselves are uneven and masked ( Maschke hochdt. I, the Masked ). Under the mask are traditionally mostly women that occur with a motto. Usual, small gifts, so-called Kromet (originally souvenir market) that is distributed to most passers unmasked. Exist, most only fool figures since the introduction of by clubs organized Carnival, the mash is essentially the role of a non-organized addition to organized fools driving , whose tradition dates back centuries. could
legendary figures
However, there is a large part of the newly created post-war carnival figures probably also attributed the savage people, but they appear to frequently accordingly. Often, these are but to legendary figures that allude to local stories or events. Most of the younger guilds embed your newly created characters into a local tradition by bringing them to a legend in context.
witches
same also often for witches, which were already discussed in detail. There
Unescaped figureheads
Also certain groups and figures, which are traditionally unmasked. encountered many cases, soldiers or police figures. In addition to the masked groups and figures given are often figureheads such as the Carnival and Carnival Vatter mother of Mark village, unmasked the Bräutelgruppe from Sigmaringen or Trommgesellen from Munderkingen with their drummers and pipers, and the well jumpers. Especially after 1945, the figure of the guild master and guild councils have spread the in modern times for almost every Fasnachtsort have become mandatory.
