Carnival in Gelsenkirchen: Fools celebrate colorful spectacle!
On March 3, 2025, Gelsenkirchen experienced the unforgettable spectacle of the carnival train, in which thousands of Jeckinnen and Jecken lined the streets. Under the motto "Gelsenkirchen remains colorful", the participants celebrated the diversity of the city. The train was strongly shaped by the ideas of the Gelsenkirchen carnival clubs, including the foot group of the local election alliance on Gelsenkirchen.
The group was represented with about 30 people and had a striking sign with the inscription "Workers' enemies of Germany undesirable". Erik Thoma von on Gelsenkirchen had a lively appearance and was pleased that the group was able to take part again in the previous year despite the previous exclusions. Nevertheless, the humorous and consistently positive motto awareness of the Jecken was noticeable.

The mood on the train was consistently positive, with numerous dance performances and interactions with the audience. Visitors were pleased with the great atmosphere and the lively performances.
