München Fasching 2 tag -- Second day .. 2018

When other countries of the world celebrate “carnival“, in Munich “Fasching“ is celebrated. “Fasching“ comes from the medieval word “vaschnc“, in present-day German “Fastnacht“ and relates to the fasting period, which begins immediately after Fasching and is what we know as Lent. Munich’s Fasching has its origins in the dancing and pageantry which accompanied economical changes, as well as changes in the customs and festivities themselves, the tradition of Fasching remains to date.

Up until the beginning of the 19th century all Fasching celebrations took place in the open air. It wasn’t until 1829 that the first “Fasching Ball“ took place, an artist’s festival, soon to be followed by other artist’s festivals and numerous masquerades and society and court balls. In 1839 the Munich carnival Society was born, which marks the beginning of Fasching as we know it today. In 1908 it was succeeded by the founding of the “Narrhalla“ (Council of Fools), which is still now responsible for the organization of many of Munich’s Fasching balls.
