Fastnacht in full swing: fools open the foolish time in BW!

On Epiphany, January 6, 2025, the starting signal for the Swabian-Alemannic Fastnacht in Baden-Württemberg was given. The celebrations begin with the traditional "Gschell dust" in Bad Waldsee, located in the Ravensburg district. At this event, the fools performed their “Häs” for the first time.

The "folded" of the Fasnet in Überlingen and Immenstaad, where the fools with banging carbats, created atmosphere. In Villingen, in the Black Forest Baar district, the Narro guild opened the carnival at the Narrobrunnen, while at 11:11 a.m. in Bad Säckingen in the Waldshut district, the town hall tower took place. Another highlight was the dusting of masks and rabbits in Mössingen-Talheim, which took place at midnight.

The Talheim fool's guild also celebrated the admission of a new member. Rottenburg looks at a special event: the 100th anniversary of the local fool's guild. Häs dust took place in Brackenheim and Ellhofen in the Heilbronn district. On January 10, the fool's tree will be set up in Lauda in the Main-Tauber district, followed by the first splendor meeting of the Gundelsheim Carneval Association on January 25th.

The fool construction in Neuhausen on the Fildern (Esslingen district) is planned for January 18. Another aspect at the event is the upcoming Bundestag election on February 23, 2025, which influences some Fastnacht planning. Due to these political events, certain carnival parades, for example in Kehl, were canceled or pre -laid.

political and economic challenges

On January 6th, a political fool's court will take place in Stockach in the Konstanz district. In this context, the fools demand financial support from the country for GEMA fees.
