Rosenmontag in the Mosel-Eifel
Greimersburg is located in the Verbandsgemeinde Cochem, in close proximity to the Moselle river. The village is one of the Eifel towns that passionately uphold their Rhenish carnival tradition. The carnival club, fire department, and various associations join forces year after year to put on a Rosenmontagszug that attracts attention far beyond the municipal borders.
Preparation and Float Building
Weeks before Rosenmontag, floats are built in garages and barns. Wood, cardboard, wire mesh, paint, and hours of painting transform trailers into colourful, often satirical, carnival vehicles. Local political issues, community anecdotes, or regional peculiarities are humorously satirized.
Walking Groups and Traditions
In addition to the floats, the walking groups are an essential part of the parade. Sports clubs, music associations, young farmers, school and kindergarten groups, as well as neighbours, appear in uniform, often thematic costumes. Guard dance groups and marching bands provide musical and choreographic highlights.
After the Parade
After the parade, the festive procession moves to the community hall, the local inn, or under a festival tent. The celebration continues into the night with live music, a DJ, or carnival hits. Catering with beer, wine, mulled wine, doughnuts, and hearty snacks is guaranteed.
