tradition and future of carnival

The women's carnival is part of a long tradition that has its roots in both pagan and Christian customs. The influence of old Roman festivals and Germanic winter exhausts is still noticeable today. Historically, the carnival developed into an important celebration in the Middle Ages, which brought people together before the 40-day period. Since then, the carnival has developed from the first masked moves to a large spectacle with commercial elements and alternative forms.

The current events, such as those in Frielendorf and Hammerles, show that these traditions have been preserved over the years. The combination of customs, joie de vivre and the sense of community attracts thousands of visitors every year who celebrate life together and strengthen social bonds. At a time when the carnival is often shaped by commerce, such celebrations offer a welcome return to the roots of carnival.
