The Große Knapsacker Carnival Society of 1935 eV (hereinafter referred to as GKKG ) is an association in the carnival of the city of Hürth . The club's colors are blue - white - red. The club is a member of the Bund Deutscher Karneval and the Carnival Association Rhein-Erft 1957 eV Despite the large-scale dissolution of the district of Hürth-Knapsack as a place of residence, due to the strong industrial settlement, the history of the place is also made by the remaining associations, such as the GKKG .
history
The Große Knapsacker Karnevals-Gesellschaft eV was founded in January 1935 from the merger of local carnival groups. V. to hold an organized carnival with a triumvirate . In the same year a parade with a triumvirate (Carnival Prince: Fritz Schröder) was carried out. The first move with eight cars was financed by donations from Knapsack businessmen and by a masked ball, with an entrance fee per person. of 0.20 marks. At the same time, a prince's guard with Funke Mariechen (Maria Prior) and a festival committee were founded. As early as the next year, the association grew rapidly and it became the Guard, the “City Soldiers”, a children's group, the “Little Sparks”.
After a forced break due to World War II in 1939 , the club's activities were resumed in 1947.
From 1955 meetings were held again, which from 1964 onwards were carried out with great success in the newly built after-work house of what was then Knapsack Grießheim AG.
In 1967 the society joined the Carnival Association Rhein-Erft and thus the Bund Deutscher Karneval. In 1971 three ceremonial meetings were held in the Feierabendhaus .
In 1973, due to the ongoing resettlement of the residents of Knapsack, the last carnival parade was carried out, which was organized by the GKKG . At the same time the first senators were appointed.
In 1977 the sessions were increased to four per session.
From 1982, we joined the carnival parade of Alt-Huerth on.
From 1992 the guard was revived and equipped with blue-white-red uniforms.
An additional ladies' meeting was introduced in 2004 and since 2006 the company has also been involved in the move in Hürth-Berrenrath as a princess escort.
Club parts
The GKKG is divided into four parts of the association, the Senate, the Guard, the active members and the inactive members.
The Senate
The Honorary Senate of the GKKG was founded in 1973 and consists of 21 honorary senators including the Senate President, Dr. Clemens Mittelviefhaus (as of April 2020). Personalities from politics, business and administration have been appointed honorary senators who jointly and personally provide advice and support to the GKKG .
The Garde
The guard of the GKKG consists of guardsmen and a dance couple ( regiment daughter and dance officer). A dancing guard unit is formed by members of the guardsmen. The guard is led by the commandant's office (commandant, deputy commandant, spit).
The active members
As of August 2019, the GKKG has 72 active members who are committed to the association in many areas. Active members can, but do not have to be, members of the Guard. In this case, the active members wear a litevka instead of the guard uniform .
The inactive members
As of August 2019, the GKKG has 68 inactive members. These are more or less supporting members without active tasks and uniform or litewka .

The gap bring joy and you.
Fastelovend fiere, dat want me!
