Yes, three years ago in Ulm.
Yes, three years ago in Ulm. Just a fun thing. A bit like carnival further up the Rhine (where I lived) but with more aesthetic masks and costumes

I experienced a real Fasching (Alemannic Fastnacht) about 25 years ago, somewhere near Munich in the countryside. A night procession which culminated in the burial of the dark spirits of Winter. The masks worn go back to the middle ages and were hauntingly frightening (similar to the masks worn during the New Year ceremonies by my father’s ethnic group, the Igbos in Nigeria).
