Mainz Fastnacht celebrates 70 years: humor, music and strong messages!

On February 28, 2025, a very special festival takes place in Mainz: The 70th edition of "Mainz Mainz remains as it and laughs" is celebrated as part of the Mainz Shrovetide. The event, which promises four hours full of music, dance and humor, will be broadcast live on Friday at 8:15 p.m. Current political issues, in particular the elected traffic light government, are brought to the Bütt.

A large number of artists are expected to make them laugh with their performances and at the same time strike socially critical under tones. Florian Sitte, as "Till" Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Friedrich Merz (CDU), will take on the grain, while Johannes Bersch discussed Robert Habeck (Greens) as "Moguntia". Alice Weidel (AfD) will not spare Thomas Becker, who appears as a "motivational consultant". In addition, Kati Greula's daycare group Christian Lindner (FDP) and Sahra Wagenknecht (BSW) exclude, which underlines the political range of Shrimen.

diversity and optimism focus

A central theme of Fastnacht is the message of openness, diversity and optimism. Lars Reichow will be clearly positioned against racism and for democracy. Martin Heininger and Christian Schier, who appear as a "collar parage with a migration background", address their own origin from a unique perspective. To round off the program, Margit Sponheimer, an icon of Fastnacht, will inspire the audience with her appearance of "I was born on Rosenmontag". Laura Müller celebrates Mainz with her song "Empire State of Mainz".

The event marks the climax of the "foolish weeks", which started on January 28 and continue until Ash Wednesday. In this context, the SWR will also broadcast the session of the Mombacher Boebeitel on February 25 and the youth mask train on March 1st, as well as the Mainz Rosenmontagszug on March 3. The Fastnacht in Mainz, which is also known as the "Meenzer Fassenacht", is celebrated particularly large in the region and is characterized by diverse traditions and customs.

A look at the story

The carnival, also known as Fastnacht or Carnival, is a deeply rooted festival in Germany that is celebrated by millions of people every year. The highlight of the carnival is typically in the week before Ash Wednesday, whereby the "hot phase" begins with a women's fast night on February 27, 2025 and ends on Veilchendienstag. In Mainz, the carnival is traditionally welcomed with the "Helau!" The celebrations shaped.

The regional peculiarities include not only elaborate costumes, but also humorous handmade speeches and impressive Rose Monday removals with magnificent cars. The Mainz urban society participates with a colorful range of events, which is carried out even further by the live broadcasts of the SWR. The anticipation for the anniversary program "Mainz remains Mainz, how it sings and laughs" is noticeable in the region and promises a festival full of laughter, music and conviviality.
