The Cologne triumvirate has existed as a unit since 1870, but has only been officially referred to as the "triumvirate" since 1938. Since the reform of the Cologne Carnival in 1823, the Held Carneval has been put at the head of the carnival. With the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, the hero became the prince carnival. At the beginning, the Princess Venetia was put to his side from time to time. This figure was rarely part of the Cologne Carnival and quickly disappeared. In the first few years, Bauer and Jungfrau only appeared in the Rose Monday procession if they could be integrated into the respective motto. The Cologne triumvirate is made up of the carnival associations , which are subordinate to the Cologne Carnival Festival Committee , and usually consists of members of a single society. In the applications, companies that celebrate an anniversary in the corresponding year are primarily considered. A new triumvirate is appointed every year for the carnival session. On Weiberfastnacht the street carnival opens at 11:11 a.m. on the Alter Markt and now on the Heumarkt in Cologne . The triumvirate is accompanied by the Prinzen-Garde Köln 1906 eV (escort corps of the Prince Carnival) and the EhrenGarde der Stadt Köln 1902 eV (escort corps of the Cologne farmer and the Cologne maiden) during the elevators and the Rose Monday procession .

There is also a Cologne children's triumvirate. This has existed since 1965 and was an idea of Hans Wallpott, then president of the civil guard "blue-gold" from 1904. For this reason, the Cologne children's triumvirate is always accompanied by little guards and pages in blue-gold uniforms.

Prince Carnival

"His madness", Prince Carnival, is the highest representative of the Cologne Carnival. The name replaced the name Held Carneval in the course of the 19th century . The prince or hero has been the most important figure in the Rose Monday procession since 1823 . At the proclamation (always at the beginning of January) by the mayor of Cologne, he receives the cot as a symbol that he swings over his foolish people. Prince Carnival always rides on the very last wagon on the Rose Monday procession, as the highlight of the foolish lindworm, so to speak. His car is the most magnificent and largest of the train.

Cologne farmer

The farmer (kölsch: Buur ), referred to as “his heartiness”, symbolizes the defensive strength of the old imperial city of Cologne . It goes back to a historical figure and thus particularly stands for the liberation of Cologne from the power of the archbishops in the battle of Worringen . As city keeper, he also wears the city key on his belt, which he receives from the mayor of Cologne when he is proclaimed. Furthermore, the Cologne farmer carries a flail in his left hand. On his mighty hat he wears 125 peacock feathers, which are supposed to represent the immortality of the city of Cologne. The figure refers to Cologne's imperial estate in the early modern period and goes back a long way into the history of the city. With regard to the carnival, the farmer, like the maiden , became established as an integral part of the 1870s.

Cologne Jungfrau

The virgin, "your loveliness", is always portrayed by a man as the protective mother Colonia in the Cologne triumvirate, as the Cologne carnival used to be a purely male society. Only in 1938 and 1939 did the role have to be played by a woman on the instructions of the NSDAP . From 1872 onwards, the Cologne peasant was put to the side of the Cologne prince and maiden. For this reason, farmer and virgin always drive together on Shrove Monday in a splendid carriage. In order to do justice to the female role, a beard or a mustache is not allowed. The Cologne Virgin wears a crown that looks like a crenellated wreath (also called a wall crown). Her crown and her virginity symbolize the impregnability of the city of Cologne when it was still enclosed by a semicircular city wall. The Roman robe of the Virgin is reminiscent of the Roman Empress Agrippina the Younger , who, according to the annals of Tacitus, is considered the founder of the city of Cologne . At the proclamation, the Cologne virgin receives a silver mirror as a symbol. The mirror has only been given to the Virgin since 1993 when the proclamation was made, "so that she can control her beauty and charm". The symbol goes back to an idea by Mayor Norbert Burger , so that the virgin would not go away empty-handed when the prince received the cot and the farmer the city key.

Appearances of the Cologne triumvirate

Depending on the length of the session, the Cologne triumvirate has to complete up to 400 appearances. A good half of these appearances take place in social institutions such as nursing homes and children's homes, hospitals and hospices. The Bundeswehr and the tax office are also visited. Wherever the triumvirate appears, it is regularly received enthusiastically. It doesn't matter which person is in the respective role.

The triumvirate always comes up with an impressive delegation from the Prinzen-Garde Köln 1906 eV. 15 guardsmen of this corps company, changing daily, are assigned to the triumvirate as "protective guards". The prince's leader (Rüdiger Schlott), the head of the team (Manfred Block) and the three adjutants are an integral part of the entourage. Prince, Farmer and Maiden each have their own aide. The adjutant of the Prince Carnival is always provided by the Prinzen-Garde Köln 1906 eV. This is Marcus Heller since 2011. The adjutants of the Cologne farmer and the Cologne Jungfrau traditionally come from the EhrenGuard of the City of Cologne 1902 eV Volker Marx and Karl-Theo Franken currently hold these offices.

The Cologne triumvirate at the Rose Monday procession

The Cologne triumvirate plays a central role in the Cologne Rose Monday procession. It is the climax of the foolish parade, which passes the fools for about 5 hours. The Cologne Rose Monday procession is traditionally opened by the Blauen Funken (Kölner Funken-Artillerie von 1870 eV blue-white) . The last two groups always form the Honor Guard of the City of Cologne 1902 eV , which rides in front of the peasant and maiden float, and the Prinzen-Garde Köln 1906 eV , which accompanies the prince.

Waiver, resignations and dismissals

In the history of Cologne's three stars, it happened a few times that individual figures or even entire three stars did not take office, had to resign or resign.

1999: The equestrian corps Jan von Werth 1925 should provide the triumvirate in 1999 (Günter Clotten as prince, Rüdiger Becker as farmer and Heinz Wittemann as virgin). Shortly after the designated triumvirate was announced, allegations of fraud against Clotten became public. As a result, he did not take office. A few days later, his two comrades-in-arms withdrew their candidacy out of solidarity. On November 9th, three candidates from the KG UHU Köln-Dellbrück could be presented as the new triumvirate 1999. The allegations against Clotten turned out to be false a few months later.
1986: Shortly after the proclamation, the Cologne virgin Helmi (Helmut Lengert) had to resign due to serious differences. He was replaced by Hans-Dieter Salchert (already a virgin 1983).
1985: The Kölnische KG 1945 was to provide the triumvirate to celebrate the 40th anniversary. Due to discrepancies within the designated trifolium, however, they withdrew again. Then the equestrian corps Jan von Werth had the opportunity to nominate a triumvirate for the company's 60th birthday at short notice.
1983: Three days before the proclamation, the designated Prince Rudi I (Hans Rudolf Eser) renounced the title because he was accused of incorrect accounting for short-term workers in his company. He was replaced by Kurt Ludes.
1977: The honor guard of the city of Cologne in 1902 provided the triumvirate on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. Three weeks after the proclamation, Prince Paul I resigned from office due to a death in the family. He was followed by Claus Kegelberg (already Prince of the Session 1973).
1961: The newly proclaimed virgin Theodora (Theodor Esser) resigned because of allegations in connection with captivity. Last year's virgin Josef Schneider took over her position.

Worth mentioning

1940–1948: No triumvirate because of the Second World War and the post-war period .
1931–1932: No triumvirate because of the global economic crisis .
1928 and 1933: Franz Robens played the role of prince twice, because in 1933, during a bad economic period, there was no other candidate.
1915–1923: No triumvirate because of the First World War and the post-war period .
1908 and 1909: The maiden of the session 1908 becomes Prince Carnival in 1909.
1908, 1909 and 1911: The riding corps of the Prinzen-Garde Cologne 1906 e. V. split off from the Prinzen-Garde in 1908 and called itself "Prince Carnival's Bodyguard" and represented the triumvirate in the aforementioned sessions. In 1912 they rejoined the parent company.

Representation of the Cologne Virgin by men

The Cologne triumvirate is traditionally represented by men, including the role of the virgin. Exceptions were the years 1938 and 1939, when, due to a decree by the NSDAP, all women's roles in the carnival were to be represented or abolished by women. The women's costumes, which were placed close to homosexuality , did not fit into the image of men of the National Socialists . After the war, however, the role was again occupied by men, in contrast to the role of Sparkmariech , which is still played by women today.

In the children's triad, unlike in adults, the virgin is embodied by a girl (exception: 1965 and 1966).
