41st Prince in Uninterrupted Succession
With the proclamation on January 3, 2026, the Kylltalnarren Jünkerath e.V. continue a remarkable tradition: Prince Basti I. (Bastian Klinkhammer) is the 41st prince in uninterrupted succession for the club. This consistency is noteworthy in the Vulkaneifel carnival and testifies to the club's strong local roots. The Prince Proclamation is considered an emotional highlight of the season's opening and brings together club members, family, friendly societies, and carnival enthusiasts from the entire Kylltal region.
The Bohlen-Schmengler-Saal as a Stage
The venue is the Bohlen-Schmengler-Saal in Jünkerath. For years, this traditional hall has been the home of the Kylltalnarren's larger carnival events and provides the spatial requirements for stage programs, dance performances, and audience participation. During the prince's reception, the hall is festively decorated — the club's colors, crests, and princely insignia are part of the fixed visual repertoire.
Program Items of the Proclamation
The proclamation follows a classic sequence: entrance of the prince, his court, and guards, official handover of insignia by the outgoing prince, address by the current board, announcement of the season's motto. Accompanying this are dance performances by the guards and contributions from the 'Bütt' (satirical stage performances). The subsequent celebration often continues late into the night, with music, dancing, and convivial gatherings.
Kylltal Carnival and Its Branches
The Kylltalnarren Jünkerath are part of a dense carnival network in the northern Vulkaneifel. Friendly clubs like the Pelmer Ulkvögel have their own dates, often with mutual visits and support. The Prince Proclamation on January 3rd is just the beginning — the children's carnival on February 7th in the Schmengler-Saal, as well as the 'Kappensitzungen' (carnival sessions) and parades of the season, will follow. Those who want to get to know the Vulkaneifel carnival should start with the proclamation.
