Carnival parade in Germersheim: Wait traffic chaos on Saturday!

On Saturday, March 1, 2025, the traditional carnival parade takes place in Germersheim. The move is organized by the city administration and promises a hustle and bustle in the city center. The celebrations begin with the installation of the moving cars from 10 a.m. on the measurement place and end by 12 p.m. at the latest. The official start of the move is planned for 1:01 p.m.

During this time there is traffic restrictions in the entire inner city area, from 12 noon to 5 p.m. The city administration points out that residents are asked to park their vehicles outside the actual moving route. A general ban on parking on public transport is enforced for security reasons.

The move ends in Zeppelinstrasse. Mayor Marcus Schaile invited all citizens to celebrate the carnival together with the clubs and wish the visitors a happy move.

background of the event

The carnival parade is not just a local tradition, but part of a larger cultural movement. Like reports about the Fastnacht support the country, municipalities and associations support the organization of such customs events. A new guide that emerged from a round table with the participation of the state government aims to facilitate planning for events.

This is done by unified standards for approval authorities and the introduction of a procedure for several years of approval for smaller events. State Secretary Elke Zimmer emphasized that the guide is particularly important for volunteer organizers because he lowers the bureaucratic hurdles and promotes the tradition of Fastnacht.
