mCultural note: Karneval Karneval is the name given to the days immediately before Lent when people gather to sing, dance, eat, drink and generally make merry before the fasting begins. Rosenmontag, the day before Shrove Tuesday, is the most important day of 'Karneval' on the Rhine. Most firms take a day's holiday on that day to enjoy the parades and revelry. In South Germany 'Karneval' is called Fasching. -
2 Fastnacht
f2. Zeitraum: carnival* * *die Fastnachtcarnival* * *Fastnacht is another word for Karneval. The Rhine Karneval, however, is very different from Fastnacht in the Swabian-Alemannic region of Germany, and in Switzerland. Here the period of celebration extends beyond Ash Wednesday indeed Fastnacht in Basle only begins after Ash Wednesday. The customs date back over 400 years and have their origin in ancient rites to banish winter. Only traditional costumes and wooden masks are allowed in the processions. Drums and bells are used to drive out the winter, and participants dressed as witches or goblins play tricks on the spectators, sometimes even during the night or at the first light of dawn.
