Three more words that are very useful in Karneval: If you are whatching a Karnevalszug in Cologne or in the Rhineland you will hear people shout "Kamelle!" that is the dialect word for candy and people shout it to coax the persons on the floats to throw (more) candies. In the same area people will also shout "Alaaf!" and that means something like "hooray!" In other areas people shout other words for the same reason. The most common one is "Helau!". Have fun and enjoy the party!
it´s actually seen as rude to bring an umbrella to catch the candy. As an adult most of the people (specialy in smaler towns) will expect you to step back and let the children have the candy for the most part.
craftyapplepie What he Said is true. You see some parents may catch the candy for their kids, because they're too small or whatever. And it's not considered rude or something if you're a teen or adult to go to the Züge, but many adults are veryyy rude at the Züge, they shove kids away to have the candy for themselves or do other rude stuff, I have been celebrating Karneval for 18 years now and sadly I've always seen such adults. But still carnival is the best Tradition there is for me. :) Greetings from Cologne!
Much more important than the umbrella is to bring (and wear) a helmet when wanting to watch the parade. Otherwise you might get knocked-out by 'flying' bars or boxes of chocolate or even small Schnaps-bottles ;)
Few explanations on this topic: The term 'Fasching' is only used around the area of Mainz. In the real South it's 'Fastnacht' or 'Fasnet'. Better known as schwäbisch-allemannische Fastnacht. Both 'Fastnacht' (literally before fasting begins) and 'Karneval' (carni vale = without meat) are linked to the fasting days before Easter. It's Christian tradition and has less links to other similar festivals from the ancient times. You can watch on TV Fasnachtsumzüge on SWR. There is a huge difference between 'Karneval' and 'Fastnacht'.
DerIchBinDa Immer diese Bayern. :P In Bayern gibt es tatsächlich unterschiedliche Bezeichnungen für das selbe Phänomen. In Augsburg und Franken heißt es aber noch überwiegend Fastnacht. Die Fastnacht wird aber auch immer mehr karnevalisiert, weswegen der Unterschied auch immer kleiner wird. In Österreich sind die Begriffe quasi synonym, nur in Tirol heißt es nur Fastnacht. fjellyo32 Berlin hat als protestantische Stadt auch keine besondere Tradition dafür, wie die meisten protestantischen Gegenden auch. Dort wird Karneval/Fasching gefeiert weil es durch die Medien populär gemacht wurde. Schließlich zeigen ARD und ZDF schon seit ewigen Zeiten rheinischen Karneval und Mainzer Fasching, während die Fastnacht auf die Regionalsender beschränkt ist.
+Bit 01 naja in Brandenburg ist der Begriff auch gebräuchlich und da wird Karneval/Fasching auch praktiziert. Bspw. Cottbus ist eine doch eher unbekannte Hochburg im Osten
+Bit 01 Fasching gibt und gab es "im Osten" auch schon lange vor ZDF und ARD, auch wenn es jedenfalls in Dresden keine großen Umzüge gab oder gibt. Fasching wurde eher von den Kindern gefeiert, die verkleidet um die Häuser gezogen sind. Aber der Begriff war immer Fasching. Meine versuche, hier im Rheinland den Begriff Fasching zu etablieren, sind leider bisher gescheitert. Wird eh Zeit, dass der Unsinn wieder vorbei ist, noch eine Woche.
This comment is a good example of the "hatred" between Cologne and Düsseldorf. Those cities are always competing and quarreling. Therefore one important hint: When you are celebrating Karneval in one of the two cities, better never talk about the other one. Drunk people can be very aggressive and especially during Karneval the rivalry between the cities is huge, so be careful.
Germany's Foreign Minister, the social-democrat Frank-Walter Steinmeier witnessed two executions during his trip to the Middle East. These horrifying events were a decapitation in Saudi Arabia and a stoning in Iran. In both situations the executed inmate was not a murderer or terrorist, but someone accused of adultery ! He even joked about the decapitation in Saudi Arabia and was asked to throw the first stone during the execution in Iran. He said that he threw it mildly. Certainly Western leaders have gone really insane ! The German FM can be seen in the middle of a group of Saudi officials. One of the walls has blood stains. A German wesbite also published a picture. It would make you sick ! This is the foreign minister of Germany ! Unbelievable !
I think german carnival is nice for children but I really don't like the adult version ^^ I associate it with middle-aged or old drunk people who sing really stupid songs. Basically an excuse to get hammered and behave like a 14 year old again. There are parties that aren't like that but most of the mainstream parties are so silly and daft that I don't think it's funny anymore.

Oh I didn't know that, as I've seen adults using umbrellas. Perhaps they were catching the candy for their children.
it´s not such a big thing in bigger citys cause the people will be drunken and don´t recognize it, but in smaller towns I would not do it^^

I Love you're Videos 😍❤️
+Violettaazizi Thank you for your kind words! xx
Where I live, we call it "Fastnacht" (fasting's night/Eve) and the thursday is called "Altweiberfastnacht"
Thank you for sharing. ^^
Birth rates spike(d) nine months after Karneval in the Rheinland area.

Clever Mr. Strawberry! ☺
The music represents brazilian carneval. You should have used *Die Höhner* but I think would be copyright problems anyway so it doesn't matter :D
In Austria der Fasching starts official at Epiphany, that's January 6. (:

+Bit 01 In the south-west you are right, in south-east (Bavaria) it is called "Fasching" as well ;-)
Also in Berlin sagt man auch Fasching^^

Lets partyyyyyy
When you realize you're german but you can't relate because you grew up in Berlin...
I do not know, if someone told you already, but the name Karneval comes from the Latin phrase "Carne vale!" (Goodbye meat!).
Your Videos are very funny 👍🏻🎀
Are you a school teacher or something ? because as I said before your videos are educative.
+Felikkse Glodstenbourg I'm not a school teacher but I like to make educational videos. I learn from the research as well. :D
Primary schools will like the video
Karnevalsdienstag = Veilchendienstag ;-)
I like Pancakes. ;-)
Karneval in Düsseldorf ist besonders Rosenmontag sehenswerter als in Köln.

+Hans Franz Besonders wenn man seinen Zug absagt, ne?
Über Köln lacht die Sonne, über Düsseldorf die ganze Welt :)

It's satire
Karneval, Fasching und Fasnet oder Fasnacht
you forgot the word Fastnacht :-P
Ach! :( I have to include that word in next years vid. Thanks for the heads up!
They also steal shoelaces off of girls' shoes.

+Julian Leischner Interesting point of view, thanks for sharing!
craftyapplepie This is also true. For many adults and tourists, carnival nowadays is just considered drinking too much alcohol.
Hallo ich heiße Fabio und ich mag Bier.
Nice Video(me want yanika)
Informative but cringe suitable for kids
who told you that weiber is an old term then? :-D
