Karneval Pickließem — Narrensitzung & Rosenmontagsumzug

Carnival Village Pickließem

Pickließem is a typical Eifel village in the Bitburger Land municipality — with a parish church, village community center, and an active club scene. The Carnival Club is one of the most active clubs in the village and organizes a diverse session program with meetings, parades, and smaller events.

Narrensitzung on Carnival Saturday

The Narrensitzung on Saturday, February 14th, 2026, at 8:11 PM, is a classic Eifel carnival session. In the festival hall, speeches (Bütt), dance performances, show acts, and solo performances are presented. The speeches are delivered in Eifel dialect and humorously address local political, social, and current affairs. The club's own dance groups and those from friendly carnival clubs perform, while a DJ provides breaks for dancing.

Rosenmontagsumzug (Rose Monday Parade)

On Rose Monday, February 16th, 2026, the parade will assemble from 1:11 PM at the village entrance. Precisely at 2:11 PM, the procession will begin — carnival floats with satirical motifs, dance groups, walking groups, and music bands from the Eifel. The route leads through the main street to the festival hall, where the dissolution of the parade will take place with shared catering.

Club Work and Float Building

As in many Eifel villages, float building is a central activity of the Carnival Club. Starting in autumn, members regularly meet in workshops to build and decorate the floats. This volunteer work is an important pillar of the village community and is passed down through generations.

Carnival Finale

After the parade, the celebration continues in the festival hall until late into the night. Live music, DJ sets, catering with Eifel specialties, and performances by the dance groups provide the setting for a convivial carnival finale.
