Carnival in Germany takes many forms. In the Swabian towns
and cities of The southwest, it is known as “ Fasnet “, or sometimes
“ Fastnacht “, a custom dating back over 500 years, with its origins rooted in ancient rites for the banishing of winter.
Here carnival is more restrained and low - kay than elsewhere, with the
customs varying from place to place. Often thai involve
costumed jesters, wooden masks, foxes tails, bells, whips, water and soot.
Together with raising a clamour, these measures once provided
protection against the Demons which were a particular threat during
the transitional period between winter and spring. Processions are a
highlight of carnival, with drums and bells played by participants
dressed as witches, gobelins, and other fantastic creatures………!
