At the German carnival, especially in the bank of the Rhine, the takeover of power by the Prince German carnival is connected with the proclamation of the kiss freedom that symbolizes the beginning of the dissolute, immoral and virtue-less life during the '5. Season , which begins on November 11 and there with the Ash Wednesday ends. As Fastnachts- or Karnevalshochburgen apply in Germany

The Garden in the German carnival and the Fassenacht should consult their own uniforms and fantasy religious parody the military, but quickly developed into status symbols.

A special feature in Mainz the political-literary meeting German carnival. The peculiarities of Mainz Fassenacht have nothing to do with the French Revolution models. In fact, a large part of the organized Cologne German carnival is inspired from 1823 the establishment of the Mainz German carnival Association was carried out in 1838 for similar reasons as in Cologne, also led to a return to outmoded traditions. The team is known as fool number for many centuries, it is therefore sinful number because the Decalogue topping, stands outside of the Ten Commandments. Similarly, the fool's cap, in numerous variations quite apart from a Phrygian cap is also known for centuries with variations. The fools never considered the model of the Phrygian cap, there is not the slightest evidence for this, is targeted conjecture. In the Narrhalla of 1843 has been excluded by the blood-red cap clearly every context. In the meetings from 1838 before chintz, there were literary political German carnival speeches.

The unorganized and extravagant German carnival in the Rhineland repeatedly led to significant impairments, hooliganism and alcohol-related assaults. The old ways were degenerated or forgotten. The witnesses describe the brutality scandal and the German carnival, only remembered the masks at the. And now had a different meaning from that of role reversal. With the establishment of the first German carnival societies and the Festival Committee Cologne German carnival 1823 German carnival in Cologne was directed into more regular orbits.

In the 1829 Aachen happened to the founding of the Florresei (now Aachen German carnival Committee, AAK). As a result of organized German carnival celebrations originated in its present form, ie with Prince, meetings and orderly processions. Since 1992, the Jeisterzoch (is in Cologne Ghost ) celebrated to remember the rebellious tradition of German carnival and the ancient cult of the winter spirit Ähzebär ( Erbsenbär ). In city of Bonn is since the founding of the Women's Committee 1824 scrubber Princess chosen, then in conjunction with other Möhnen Weiberfastnacht stormed the town hall. As a symbol of the foolish, some German carnival clubs lead a trio, a German carnival prince, a prince and princess or a prince with master of ceremonies.

The Munich German carnival has established a tradition of its own, the hall of the German carnival with German carnival balls. In Munich, the usual pomp elsewhere sessions are missing. For partially also celebrated by companies and schools organized German carnival balls. The Munich German carnival balls remember the costume balls of past centuries in debauchery and equipment. In the movie Clean Sweep Munich's Fasching in its eccentricity a monument and its nihilism.

As for amusement or Fastnachts-, or German carnival stronghold refers to areas where traditional German carnival, German carnival or German carnival is celebrated in particular. This can be both regions, cities, but also communities act. German carnivalesque structures of masking, disguising and ritualized exuberance can be found in all cultures.

The largest German carnival procession in Hessen is the Frankfurt procession, which is organized annually by the Grand Council of the Frankfurt German carnival clubs on Shrove Tuesday. In this procession took in 2005 6.108 people attended.
