Carnival in Cologne, Weiberfastnacht

Carnival in Germany
It is known as Karneval, Fastnacht or Fasching depending upon the region, but the feasting, fun and organised chaos before Lent remain the same. While those who are not fans escape carnival areas where strangers embrace, bars make 40 percent of their annual earnings, and The Fifth and Foolish Season takes over city streets.
