1 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.
