Depending on the region it is called Karneval, Fastnacht, Fasnet, or Fasching and is celebrated in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Every town and village has its own carnival customs. Whether it is the Kölner Karneval or the Münchner Fasching, celebrations reach a climax in the last week, especially on Rosenmontag and Faschingsdienstag, when revellers dress up for masked balls and there are parades of floats through the streets. On those two days people might even go to work in fancy dress. Originally the masks and wild dances served to drive away evil spirits, but now it's just a time for fooling about.

5 Karneval
* * *der Karnevalcarnival* * *Karneval is the time between Epiphany and Ash Wednesday, which is also known as the fünfte Jahreszeit (fifth season). Among the traditional events are masked balls, and meetings where people make humorous speeches and sing carnival songs. On the so-called tolle Tage ("crazy days") normal life in many regions is turned completely upside down. During the tolle Tage power is symbolically assumed in many towns by a carnival prince and princess. This is especially so in Rheinland, where Karneval has been celebrated in its present form since 1823. Rosenmontag is generally a holiday in this region, so that people can watch the processions and join in the celebrations. In Southern Germany and Austria the carnival period is called Fasching and the processions take place on Shrove Tuesday.
