The active fools and jesters greet each other with a fool's call at Carnival, Mardi Gras and Mardi Gras . These battle cries are different in the respective carnival strongholds.

use

Fool's calls usually consist of two parts, whereby the first part (template) is usually a proper name (mainly the name of the carnival stronghold) that is given by the caller. The second part is the answer to the first part and usually represents the actual call of fools, which is carried by the crowd of fools present.

Using the example of Helau, here are some ways of using fool's calls:

  • as a simple two-part call: "Hey - lukewarm!"
  • as a double call: "(Carnival stronghold, e.g." Mainz ") - Helau!"
  • as a triple modified repeated call:
    "Then a threefold strong / resounding / thundering" (sometimes also: "strong resounding / thundering"):
    "( Carnival stronghold ) → Helau!"
    “ Carnival → Helau!”.

Individual calls

Throughout Germany

  • Helau

The reputation "Helau" is widespread in many carnival strongholds. Often it is also written with "ll". There are numerous attempts to explain its origins: On the Lower Rhine, the “Helau” is said to have been a shepherd's call once . "Helau" derives another explanation from Hallelujah . Some also claim that “Helau” can also mean “Hell auf” or “ Hel auf” ( Hel = Germanic goddess of the underworld, from which hell developed); because carnival has been celebrated for a very long time to drive away winter and the evil spirits that came to earth when hell opened. One made fun of them with costumes (see Alemannic Fastnacht).

  • Ahoy

In northern Germany and partly in the Palatinate / Electoral Palatinate , but also sporadically in Baden and Bavarian , one calls out " Ahoi ". The origin lies in the shipping: The crew of the ship of fools in the carnival parade greets the foolish people on the roadside with "Ahoy" and is greeted back with the same call. In Wasungen , for example, the city name is called in Low German (“Woesinge”) followed by “Ahoi”. The origins of rafting, which used to be one of the major sources of income for the city's population, are here.

Hesse

  • Grailau ( Griedel )
    • In the Butzbach district of Griedel ( Gräile in the local dialect), one of the Mardi Gras strongholds in the Wetterau, “Gräilau” is called during the barrel night, a mixture of Griedel and Helau. In addition to the foreign meetings and various other events, a foolish lindworm snakes its way through the place on Shrove Sunday, where local things are poked fun at and the fools are greeted with a loud triple “Gräilau”.
  • Mörlau ( Ober-Mörlen )
    • In Ober-Mörlen, the symbiosis of the Helau with the colloquial name of the community "Mörle" applies to Narren . However, the tripled battle cry differs between the two carnival clubs. For example, the 1st Carnival Society "Mörlau" says: "A Mörlau three times as powerful ...", at the Mörlau Carneval Club: "Mirle-Mörlau, ..."
  • Hallau ( Offenbach am Main )
    • In Offenbach am Main, the fools call "Offebach - Hallau". It should be noted that “Hallau” is written with two “l”, in contrast to “Helau”. An Offenbach prince is said to have lost the call so clearly at a late hour, and so the guests took over and kept this "Hallau". The call is also used in the Bieber district , here the fools call "Bieber-Hallau".

North Rhine-Westphalia and northern Rhineland-Palatinate

Rhineland: Alaaf, Aloha, Helau

Cologne Mayor Henriette Reker with a typical hand gesture for the Alaaf jester call, 2016

A formulation similar to the Kölle Alaaf is documented for the first time in writing in a petition from the Cologne-born secret councilor Metternich zur Gracht to his elector for the year 1635. The origins of the word “all af” (“all off” / “all away”) also in toasts suggest inscriptions on bearded men . Some jugs labeled in this way from around 1550 are kept in the Cologne City Museum. Since the renewal of the carnival in 1823, "Kölle Alaaf" has also been a reputation of the Cologne crowd .

Another explanation is that there have always been language connections along the Rhine shipping route to the south. In Alemannic and now widely used in Austrian, “a mask” means “a Laaf'n”. Since the linguistic similarities between Vorarlberg and the Rhine settlement areas due to the trade relations along the Rhine in early times were more similar than those with the immediate hinterland, this expression can also have been brought from Alemannic, as a battle cry for the time of the masks: "Kölle Alaaf "=" All of Cologne a mask ". This is countered by the fact that "Alaaf" has only found its way into the carnival to a significant extent since around 1880, but was referred to as " antiquum illud commune adagium " - that old, widespread saying - as early as 1748 in Cologne university files in the version "Allaff Cöllen" has been.

In Cologne and in the wider area on the left bank of the Rhine (in the broader sense up to the Dutch regions of Noord-Brabant and Limburg) the carnival call is "Alaaf". B. “ Oche Alaaf”, on the right of the Rhine it is mostly called “Helau”. In the Rhein-Sieg district on the right bank of the Rhine, in Bonn on the right bank of the Rhine and in the Rheinisch-Bergisch region , in Leverkusen and in the Oberberg region , however, everyone is calling out Alaaf. The town of Dormagen is located in the Rhine district of Neuss , where “Alaaf” is called in all parts of the city , except in the northernmost district of Stürzelberg , where “Helau” calls have always been the standard. Also in the Rhein-Sieg district on the left bank of the Rhine in the village of Dünstekoven in the municipality of Swisttal , “Helau” has been shouted for many years in order to distance oneself from the surrounding towns. In the “Alaaf” areas, which roughly coincides with the distribution area of ​​the Ripuarian flat languages , it is considered improper to use “Helau”. The same applies mutatis mutandis to “Helau” areas.

Stephan Runge and Claus Vinçon carry out the Aloha call at ColognePride 2006

Gays and Lesbians hosted the Pink Session from 1994 to circa 2006 . At this event in Cologne, “ Aloha ” is called instead of Alaaf . This call arose during the CSD in Cologne. In contrast to the “thundering” Alaaf call, it is gently stretched and pronounced nasally affected (“ tuntig ”). One of the two arms is not pulled straight up as with the “Alaaf”, but rather slowly upwards and the hand above is bent forward “appropriately” (looks like the spout on a teapot, the so-called “drop hand ").

A legend widespread in the Rhineland says that the carnival calls Alaaf and Helau arose in the Middle Ages from an armed conflict between Cologne's residents and merchants from Mainz. In the Middle Ages, Cologne had the so-called “stacking right”. Every merchant ship that passed Cologne from 1259 onwards had to offer the loaded goods for sale at a fixed price for three days. The call Alaaf meant something like “unload everything!”. According to the legend, a merchant from Mainz resisted this privilege with the force of arms and the exclamation “Ik will he lau fahrn!”. The Mainz merchants finally managed to break the blockade with their ship, with their leader being fatally wounded. The trader was buried near Kaiserswerth , so nowadays the carnival call is the Cologne Alaaf and the answer of the Mainz and Düsseldorf jesters is "Helau".

Saarland

In Saarland and occasionally in other regions, the exclamation “Alleh hopp!” Is widespread. It is derived from the French term “allez hop!”, Which roughly means “let's go!”. However, one emphasizes the badly horned "alleh" in the Saarland style on the first syllable.

Saxony

In Hohenstein-Ernstthal, one calls out: “traat veeder”!

  • Leila - Helau
    • is the overarching reputation of all carnival clubs in the city of Leipzig , based on the mascot of the Leipzig Carnival, the lion.
  • Rabu
    • The “ battle cry ” was called out for the first time on February 16, 1958, during the first carnival parade in the Saxon stronghold of Radeburg . It is a "simple two-part call". The template is “Ra!” And the foolish people answer with “Bu!” The highest form of increase consists of three individual templates and three individual answers. The foolish people are called to the “triple thunder” “Ra! - Bu! Ra! - Bu! Ra! - Bu! "

Leipzig is known for its active student club and student volunteer council scene, the Leipzig student carnival. The individual associations have a variety of different calls, most of which are study-specific:

Saxony-Anhalt

Carnival also enjoys a long tradition in Saxony-Anhalt (here, however, more referred to as Mardi Gras). However, during the GDR era, this was less important, and so the carnival fell into a long slumber that lasted until the fall of the Wall.

East Belgium

The Rhenish Carnival is celebrated in the German-speaking part of Belgium ( East Belgium ). Classic fools calls are Alaaf, especially in Kelmis and Eupen near Aachen, also in Emmels near Sankt Vith , and Helau in the southern part of East Belgium. In Sankt Vith people shout "Fahr'm dar", which means something like "Long neatly!"

Southern Netherlands

In the catholic south of the Netherlands, carnival is celebrated in the regions of Noord-Brabant and Limburg . Alaaf is called especially in Kerkrade , Heerlen , Maastricht and other small towns in South Limburg, so that when you come from Cologne, Aachen or East Belgium you don’t feel a border when calling the jester.
