About Karnevalsumzug Brohl-Lützing
Rose Monday in the Brohltal
Brohl-Lützing, along with the surrounding municipalities of the Brohltal administrative district, forms its own carnival landscape on the lower Rhine. The Rose Monday parade is the highlight of a whole series of parades in the VG Brohltal: while parades already take place in Weibern (Saturday) and Glees (Saturday) as well as in Königsfeld (Sunday), Brohl-Lützing forms the grand center on Rose Monday, followed by the Shrove Tuesday parade in Dedenbach and the many Niederzissen parades.
The Twin Municipality on the Rhine and Brohlbach
Brohl-Lützing consists of the two districts Brohl, which lies directly on the Rhine, and Lützing, which is further inland in the Brohltal valley. The carnival tradition is kept alive by the close-knit club structure of the twin municipality, where the carnival society, fire department, sports clubs, and music bands work together. The assembly at 2:00 PM opens the afternoon, which is entirely dedicated to carnival festivities.
Colorful Floats and Walking Groups
The parade consists of floats from local carnival clubs, costumed walking groups, dance troupes, music bands, and schools. Elaborately designed themed floats humorously address local, regional, and supra-regional topics, often with references to the Brohltal, the Rhine steamer pier, or the Brohltalbahn (Vulkan-Expreß). The floats are accompanied by members who throw sweets and small gifts into the crowd.
Carnival Landscape VG Brohltal
The VG Brohltal is part of the Ahrweiler district and maintains its own carnival tradition, expressed in a variety of village carnival parades. Niederzissen, Weibern, Glees, Königsfeld, Dedenbach, and Brohl-Lützing together form a dense network of carnival dates throughout the entire carnival period. Those who want to experience the full Brohltal carnival program should plan a stay from the weekend before Ash Wednesday to Shrove Tuesday.
Family-Friendly and Tradition-Bound
The Brohl-Lützing carnival parade is designed to be family-friendly. Children with bags and buckets stand by the roadside, catching 'Kamelle' (sweets). Restaurants and club pubs along the route open their doors to the celebrating guests, and afterwards, the carnival party takes place in the halls of the local clubs.
