About Rosenmontagszug Urmersbach
The Rosenmontagszug (Rose Monday Parade) in Urmersbach is a highlight of the Karneval season in the Kaisersesch administrative district. The small Eifel village in the Cochem-Zell district starts its parade in the late morning, distinguishing itself from many neighboring towns that only begin in the afternoon. Those who wish to attend multiple parades on Rose Monday often start in Urmersbach.
In 2026, the parade starts on Monday, February 16th, at 11:11 AM – a particularly festive time, eleven times eleven. Floats, walking groups, music bands, and jesters will parade through the village center, creating a colorful, exuberant spectacle.

Morning Parade as a Special Feature
While most Rose Monday parades in the region start in the early afternoon, Urmersbach traditionally begins at 11:11 AM. This peculiarity allows Karneval enthusiasts to attend multiple parades consecutively on Rose Monday: Urmersbach in the morning, followed by Landkern (3:11 PM) or other towns in the afternoon. This creates a veritable parade tour through the Eifel.
The Festive Number 11
The number 11 is omnipresent in Rhenish Karneval: November 11th as the start of the season at 11:11 AM, the Elferrat (council of eleven) as the governing body, festive times like 11:11 AM or 2:11 PM or 3:11 PM. It symbolically represents the equality of jesters, the dissolution of social hierarchies during the festive days, and a supposedly useless number that stands between the holy 10 (Commandments) and 12 (Apostles).
Village Karneval with Commitment
In Urmersbach, the Karneval club, fire department, sports clubs, and neighborhoods participate in the preparations. Floats are built in garages over weeks, costumes are sewn, and candy/giveaways are collected. The route is manageable but lined with spectators who, in costume and good spirits, follow the spectacle.
Follow-up Program
After the parade, the festive procession moves to the community center, inn, or under a festival tent. The celebration continues late into the evening with music, dancing, Karneval hits, and refreshments. Those who are still fit can then move on to one of the afternoon parades in neighboring towns.
