Carnival 2017 in Überlingen: The Überlinger Hänsele at the Hänselejuck on Mardi Gras Saturday evening

The Hänselejuck is traditionally the highlight of the Überlinger Fasnet and has been taking place on a Saturday evening since 1964. The word Hänselejuck means something like "Hansel jumping" or "Hansel running".

Überlinger Hänsele

Überlinger Hänsele

The Hansele is a so-called Blätzlenarr. His fool's hat consists of a cap with a red fox tail, a linen suit with felt cookies cut into strips sewn onto it. Three rows of black stripes are interrupted by a number of colored stripes in the color sequence red-green-yellow-blue. Hansele wears white gloves, a white handkerchief, black stockings, black shoes and a carbine . Three or four bells are attached to each other on the left and right outside of the pants.

Only the Überlinger Hänsele and various music bands take part in this night parade . The parade route runs from the Hänselebrunnen, down Aufkircherstraße through the Franziskanertor, Franziskanerstraße, Christophstraße and Jakob-Kessenring-Straße to the “Hofstatt”. During the move, the city center of Überlingen is illuminated with a Bengali fire . In the "Hofstatt", the Hansele and the participating bands gather around the fool's tree to “celebrate” the fool's march together . Afterwards, there is foolery all over the city.
