1 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.

2 Fastnacht
Fast·nacht [ʼfastnaxt] f( DIAL) carnival¿Kultur?The Swabian-Allemannic carnival begins on January 6, on Heilige Dreikönige - Three Kings Day and is known as Fastnacht or Fasnet. It is characterized by the reversal of the usual rules and dressing up in masks and costumes. Fastnacht is held in Baden Württemberg, parts of Bavaria, Northern Switzerland and Alsace. The festival starts on Shrovetide, the Thursday before Ash Wednesday, known in these regions as Schmutziger Donnerstag or Fettdonnerstag. Elsewhere the day is called Weiberfastnacht - Women's Carnival, being the day when tradition says that women take control. In many towns women take over the town halls and, according to an old tradition, cut off the ties of male politicians, colleagues - whoever comes along, is male, and wears a tie. -

9 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.
