Trier Carnival
The Trier Carnival is one of the largest carnival festivals in Rhineland-Palatinate , making Trier one of the major Rhenish carnival, Mardi Gras and Mardi Gras strongholds . The events begin on November 11th and end with the carnival parades typical of the Rhineland on Tulip Sunday and Rose Monday . The prince couple is presented every year on November 11th , the enthronement takes place in January. However, traditionally there are no carnival events between November 11th and January 6th.
Meeting carnival
The session carnival usually begins in January with cap meetings in the districts, whereby almost every district has its own carnival club and thus also organizes one (or more) cap meetings. The large Trier carnival associations "KG" M'r wieweln noch "en Zalawen 1911 eV (Wieweler)", "KG Rote Funken", " KG Heuschreck " and the gay and lesbian center "Schmit-Z" offer large carnival events are also known beyond the Trier borders. The Trier session carnival lasts until Tulip Sunday.
Cap meetings are also held in the surrounding communities. Almost every congregation holds a cap meeting; however, these are usually set in January and February so that some dance groups and clubs can take part in various meetings.
Street carnival
The street carnival begins with the Weiberfastnachtsparty on the main market on Women's Thursday . The first parades take place in most parts of the city on Tulip Sunday. The Trier Carnival reaches its climax on Shrove Monday. Then, from 12:11 p.m., the fools have usually been driving more than 100 dance groups and floats through the old town of Trier in recent years. The move takes place in irregular sections between the exhibition park and the arena or vice versa from Herzogenbuscher Strasse to the exhibition park. Then the big final party including the choice of the best car takes place in the arena; Irrespective of the course of the train, there is also a celebration in the exhibition park hall at irregular intervals. Parallel to the Trier parade, the older Ehranger parade also takes place, which in earlier years was larger than the Trier Rose Monday parade; however, in some years it begins a little later.
A specialty is the archipelago jump in the Biewer district . The fools jump through the streets, which is reminiscent of the Echternach jumping procession. The origin of this event has not been researched; however, it is believed to have a Celtic origin.
Large carnival parades also take place in the region every year, although the number of participants in the villages is decreasing in favor of the large parades in the cities and due to demographic change . Of particular note was the Saarburg night parade on Carnation Saturday , which attracted up to 6,000 spectators annually and was held for the last time in 2018 for safety reasons. The parades in Burgen , Betteldorf , Birresborn , Deudesfeld , Eisenschmitt , Feuerscheid , Gillenfeld , Hermeskeil , Irsch , Konz-Oberemmel , Mehren (Eifel) , Mehring , Monzelfeld , Piesport , Preist , Retterath and Welschbillig are also very popular every year . Every five years the largest regional village parade with over 30 carriages and foot groups with over 2,000 spectators takes place in Lampaden .
Fool call
On the parades in Trier and the region, with a few exceptions, the typical “Helau” for the Mainz Carnival is called out. Exceptions include Kell am See , where the Cologne “Alaaf” is often used , which is rather unusual outside of Cologne, or Greimerath , where “Allez-Hopp” is called, and Hentern , where it is called “Hua”. The fool's call of the "Pink Carnival", which the gay and lesbian center Schmit-Z e. V. organizes it is “Trier maju!”. The district of Trier-Zewen traditionally celebrates the carnival time with the call "Helei", KG Heuschreck calls the actually classic Trier "Halaudi".
