The Hussar Corps was founded in Cologne in 1972. The association organized its first meeting in 1974. The association was admitted to the festival committee of the Cologne Carnival in 1977 as a supporting member and in 1997 as a full member.

structure

The association has members from all ages and professions. President is Peter Neukirchen. It is the only Cologne corps to have its own women's corps.

The events of the association take place in the Wolkenburg . In addition to the large pageantry and costume meeting and the ladies' morning pint, the association also organizes the Cologne Fastelovendssitzung for ärm Lück here.

The members of the officers 'and ladies' corps are out and about in the Cologne Rose Monday procession . The officers and ladies can be recognized by their red hussar uniforms . The uniforms with their five-point lacing are based on the uniforms of the Potsdam Leib-Garde-Hussar Regiment .

Active and supporting members have the opportunity to switch to the reserve corps. Members of the reserve corps are only entitled to wear the uniform at events if they have previously belonged to an active corps for many years.

Members who primarily want to support the Hussar Corps financially have the opportunity to join the Corps à la suite. The members of the Corps à la suite can take part in all events, but are not obliged to do so.
