LCV Narrhalla Prunksitzungen

Over 180 years of carnival club history

The Landauer Carneval-Verein Narrhalla e.V. 1843 is not just any carnival club: it is the oldest carnival club in the town of Landau and one of the oldest in the entire Palatinate. Founded in the Vormärz year of 1843, before the founding of the German Empire, the LCV has written over 180 years of carnival history. The club colors, the tradition of the Prunksitzungen, the election of the princely couple and the cultivation of the Palatinate dialect carnival continue to shape club life to this day.

Three Prunksitzungen per season

Unlike most carnival clubs, which make do with one or two Prunksitzungen per season, the LCV traditionally holds three Prunksitzungen. This exceptional program density reflects the strong membership base and the high demand for tickets. In the 2025/2026 season, the sessions take place on January 24th, January 31st and February 7th, 2026, each at 7:11 PM, the traditional jester's start time of Palatinate Prunksitzungen.

Three venues

The three sessions take place at different venues in the town of Landau. The 1st Prunksitzung on January 24th, 2026 kicks off the season phase with the first major event. The 2nd Prunksitzung on January 31st, 2026 takes place at the Dorfgemeinschaftshaus Mörlheim, a deliberate move to one of the town's villages to maintain the LCV's close connection with the Landau village culture. The 3rd Prunksitzung on February 7th, 2026 marks the highlight of the season phase.

Princely couple 2025/2026: Wiebke I and Jan I

Every LCV season is represented by a princely couple, who attend the events and shape the public face of the club. For the 2025/2026 season, Wiebke I and Jan I are the princely couple, united, as the local press reports, by their shared love of motorcycling. This personal touch makes the princely couple sympathetic representatives of the club.

Classic program

The LCV Prunksitzungen follow the classic dramaturgy of Palatinate carnival evenings: entrance of the Elferrat (council of eleven) and the princely couple, welcome by the president, performances by dance groups, several Büttenreden (satirical speeches) in Palatinate dialect, musical contributions, sketches and show acts by friendly clubs. With over 180 years of history, the club program is deeply rooted in the Landau carnival culture.
