On Saturday 25th 5 of us ladies dressed up in our best red and white striped Tee
shirts ánd visited the Hänneschen puppet theatre .While outside in
Haymarket there had been a political demonstration, inside the Puppen
had their own political call, to vote for Partei AJUJA. The Puppen had us all linking arms and singing
along with them, mostly old Karneval songs. 222 years history was celebrated by waking the dead
and bring back to life all the old favourite Koelner personalities.
These puppest were not for children, they are part of the carnival
tradition, and long may they live! After all, is that not what carnival
is all about ,to be able to laugh at ourselves?
