Charly Glanzing, the Chancellor of the Villacher Faschingsgilde, underlined the uniqueness of this year's carnival. "We have an anniversary this year and of course celebrate it very exceptionally. We are looking forward to a fun season," he said in an interview with ORF.

The way to the role

Nicole Glanznig expressed that the role as a princess is still quite new: "I'm not quite in my role yet. I think when I stand outside in front of all the people, it really gets going." She has already brought experience from her time as a children's carnival princess in 2012, where she also wore the crown that she is now putting on again.

Marc Germeshausen also shared his enthusiasm for the anniversary carnival. "As a cosmopolitan Villacher, I travel a lot and try to bring the experiences back to the hometown of Villach," he said. Germeshausen emphasized that Villacher's secret of success in the carnival was primarily to "simply be funny," which he would like to demonstrate even more intensively as part of the carnival. In addition to his activities as a prince, he is also socially committed; With his club Gemma he organizes the social Christmas market and is committed to the community.

The anticipation for an exuberant carnival season is noticeable and the curiosity of the performances of the prince couples grows during the festival. In order to learn more about the background and the program of the anniversary, further information can be found in the article by kaernten.orf .
