history
In the course of the Reformation , the Carnival in Cannstatt was suppressed by the reformed Württemberg dukes in the 16th century .
In 1853 there was the first documented parade of fools in Cannstatt. At that time the fools appeared in peasant clothes.
In the 1920s, Gustav Schmid, the then host of the Kursaal in Bad Cannstatt, gave carnival balls. In 1924, the popular actor Albert Hofele and the painter Hermann Metzger organized a ball under the motto With the Zeppelin to the moon . In 1925, these three men founded the Kübelesmarkt carnival club , which hosted the 1925 ball. The disguise was reminiscent of the peasant costume from the fools' parade in 1853. Today's Kübler costume is also reminiscent of this costume.
The name Kübler derives from the barrel manufacturers in the wine town of Bad Cannstatt.
The parade at the VSAN meeting in Bad Cannstatt in 1992 was the first parade of the Swabian-Alemannic Carnival that was broadcast on television ( Süddeutscher Rundfunk and Südwestfunk ). It was supposed to be a kind of redress for the media for the failed moves in 1991 as a result of the Second Gulf War . That was the beginning of the television broadcasts of parades from the Swabian-Alemannic Carnival.
In 2009 the European Fools Festival took place in Bad Cannstatt with 3800 fools from 11 countries and 47 guilds.
From January 17 to 19, 2020, the Kübelesmarkt hosted the Great Fools 'Meeting of the Swabian-Alemannic Association of Fools' Guilds for the third time in its history .
characters
The costume of the Kübler consists of a long black trousers, a white shirt, a red vest and a black jacket that came about, however, only later. The bucket hat is adorned with a long pheasant feather .
The Felben have a linden wood mask and a leaf with red, green, brown and orange leaves. They are supposed to represent Neckarweiden and are reminiscent of an incident from 1848. The vigilante group had moved out and suspected French soldiers on the banks of the Neckar. When the fog cleared it was just willow trees .
The moon extinguishers wear old fire brigade uniforms and carry a historical fire brigade syringe . You remember an incident when some drinking brothers alerted the fire brigade because they said the church was on fire. But it was only the moon that has accompanied her as a mask since 1991. His mask shows the full moon from the front and the half moon from the side.
The fountain spirit is a single figure and has a rabbit with reed and fish applications. The baroque style wooden mask is surrounded by a hemp wig. It reminds of the mineral water found in Bad Cannstatt. He is accompanied by the fool mother who looks after the fool seed, the children.
Customs and events
- On the morning of January 6th, the Kübler met to dust off Felbenkopf's and the moon's masks . Then the spirit of the fountain is awakened from the depths of the mineral springs at Jacob's fountain . Then the newly accepted into the guild are baptized by running through a trellis and being doused with water. They then receive a certificate and mask and are full members of the guild.
- The Schmotzige Thursday is the highlight of the Cannstatter street carnival. In the morning the foolish weekly market takes place. In the early evening, the fools storm the town hall and receive the cane drink from the mayor . Already in the Middle Ages, the male citizens of the city were allowed to drink as much wine with a long pipe after paying their tithes "than they could digest". In the evening, the fools take the shirt glass parade towards the market square, where the bucket race takes place. The team that has pushed its wash basin over the obstacle course the fastest will be crowned the winner. The celebrations will then continue on the market square and in the restaurants.
- The Küblerball takes place in the Kursaal Bad Cannstatt on Carnival Saturday .
- On Shrovetide Sunday, the Felben legend is played out on the banks of the Neckar.
- On Shrove Monday the purr groups are out and about in Cannstatt's restaurants.
- On Shrove Tuesday at noon, the children's greed takes place in the old town. The children move from shop to shop with the stingy and ask the business people to give them something: “Stingy, stingy, stingy is the bakery. And if he weren't that stingy, he'd give me a couple of pretzels! ”There is also the children's parade in kindergartens and schools. In the evening at seven o'clock the sword dancers perform their dance in front of the old town hall. They wear white robes with red sashes and red berets . They are accompanied by a fool with a pointed hat and a face blackened with soot. The dance has only been performed for a few years, but is based on the sword dance of the 16th century. The highlight of the dance is the symbolic killing of the fool, the "God denier" and his resurrection as a "convert". At midnight, the fools in black robes go to the town hall, where they sing "Farewell brothers, all return is uncertain". The straw doll that is carried along is hung up on the Wilhelmsbrücke, set on fire and then sunk in the Neckar ( carnival incineration ).
- The traditional “ Folk Trout Dinner ” takes place on Ash Wednesday . The purses are then washed in the pea well.
- The Cannstatter Dialect Days , organized by the association, take place between May and June every year .
- At the end of July, the Kübelesmarkt, together with the Württemberg fishing club and the Cannstatt swimming club , organize the traditional jousting on the Neckar every two years . The first - at that time called Schifferstechen - fishing jousting took place in 1717. The fishermen and boatmen founded their guild in 1718, their guild drawer was in the Goldener Löwen inn on the Holzmarkt. Every 3 years at the big guild meeting, on the day after Peter and Paul (June 29th), a jousting should be held. From 1818 to 1820 the jousting took place at the end of the newly introduced Cannstatter Volksfest on September 28th. At that time there were 12 participants in the jousting, who tried to stab their opponents out of their boats with sticks in the presence of the Württemberg royal couple. The winner received 20 ducats and 6 medals. 10,000 people watched the competition. From 1883–1887 the jousting was revived and enriched with fireworks and gondola rides. It was carried out again from 1924 to 1927 and then in 1934. In 1951, the Kübelesmarkt, together with the Cannstatt Swimming Club, was commissioned by the city to carry out the jousting again. However, due to the poor water quality of the Neckar, the competition was discontinued. It could not be resumed until 1983, as the water quality had significantly improved. Since then, the jousting has taken place every two years.
