Costume party in the Veldenz-Gymnasium: Students celebrate their childhood heroes!

In Lauterecken, the festive atmosphere is noticeable, while the high school graduates of the Veldenz-Gymnasium wrap themselves in colorful costumes. From March 3 to March 7, 2025, there will be a motted week in which the students wear different outfits every day. This creative tradition not only prepares high school graduates for the upcoming exams, but also ensures unforgettable memories.

The motted week usually falls into the last school week in front of the Abi exams, a time that is often shaped by tension and anticipation. This year, the students have the opportunity to discuss with the school leaders about a possible preliminary laying of the motted week, which shows how committed they are in planning. The vote on the mottos takes place in a lively meeting, in which ten suggestions are presented to the students to choose from. A high level of participation in this coordination is crucial to ensure that the mottos are well received and promote broad participation.

colorful costumes and creative topics

This year, among other things, the motto day was celebrated with group costumes. The creative topics range from time travel to childhood heroes, which accompany many of the high school graduates in their memories. The diverse costumes reflect the nostalgic feelings of the students and enable them to slip into the roles of their favorite figures.

The Kuseler Rheinpfalz editorial team started a call to readers in the run-up to this colorful week. They were asked to submit photos of their favorite costumes, which met with lively interest. Almost 20 readers accepted this invitation and sent their costumed memories. The photos sent are now shown in a presentation that not only documents the variety of costumes, but also awakened the memories of the foolish time before Ash Wednesday.

tradition and community

The motted week is not only a creative exuberance, but also an important tradition that promotes the sense of community among high school graduates. The common activities and the possibility of presenting themselves in various topics strengthen the bonds among the students and make this time an unforgettable experience before the serious section of the Abitur exams.
