Carnival on the Moselle is deeply rooted and shapes the fifth season between Koblenz and Trier with countless parades, galas, and carnival balls. In the Cochem-Zell district, the Karnevalsumzug in Ediger-Eller is one of the fixed dates that gets the whole village moving.
What makes Ediger-Eller special is the setting: while carnival parades elsewhere march through main city streets, here the procession moves through the narrow alleys of one of the most beautiful half-timbered villages on the Moselle, past medieval town gates, the late Gothic collegiate church of St. Martin, and the slate-roofed burgher houses. This backdrop lends the parade a special charm that distinguishes it from the big-city Rhenish carnival.
Participants in the parade include carnival clubs, school classes, sports clubs, the fire brigade, and circles of friends from Ediger-Eller itself, as well as from the neighbouring villages of Bremm, Neef, Bullay, and Alf. The floats are often prepared for months and address local topics, political events, or social phenomena with wit and self-irony. Music bands, guard dancers, and small show groups provide entertainment along the parade route.
After the parade, the festive activities continue in the village's clubhouses, pubs, and marquees. Celebrations with wine, beer, and Rhenish-influenced carnival music go on late into the night. Anyone wanting to experience authentic Moselle carnival spirit will find it in Ediger-Eller on Carnival Sunday.
