The carnival has deep roots that go back to the Romans and Greeks when festivals were celebrated in honor of the gods. Over the centuries, the carnival, also known as the carnival, has differentiated itself in Germany, "a https://www.blick.de/chemnitz/bald-die-narren-wieder-wieder-faschingsbraeuche-und-s-im-wandel-artikel13651248" Class = "Source_3">. While large moves and solemn sessions dominate in the Rhineland, there are smaller but also traditional carnival celebrations in the Erzgebirge region.
The different terms indicate this regional tradition: While one speaks of "carnival" in the Catholic south, "carnival" is spoken of in evangelical regions of "carnival" and in the Rhineland. Over the centuries, the carnival has developed from simple festivals to a diverse cultural phenomenon that contains masks, dances and colorful costumes.
In Saxony itself, the carnival also takes place in other cities such as Leipzig and Plauen. As in Radeburg, the celebrations are shaped there by parades and events that bring together the community and represent a time of joy and exuberant.
The next carnival celebrations are already on the program in Wittichenau and Döbeln on Rosenmontag, where the tradition of carnival will continue to be kept alive. The carnival is also celebrated in schools and kindergartens to introduce children to these important customs and pass on the joy of tradition.
