Köthen/Halle (dpa/sa) - After a two-year break, the fools in Saxony-Anhalt are also eagerly awaiting the Shrove Monday parades. "It's time that we finally started again and we can celebrate without restrictions," said the President of the Halle-Saalkreis Carnival Association (HSKV), Ingo Küßner. "We are celebrating a milestone anniversary with the 30th move, and the club has also been in existence for 33 years." Under the motto "Mr sense widder da!" (We're back!) it will start in Halle today at 11.11 a.m. sharp. Led by the new state prince couple and at the same time city prince couple Lea I. and Yanneck I., the colorful crowd meanders along a kilometer-long path through the city center of Halle.
In Köthen, too, it is the 30th anniversary of the street carnival after reunification. The motto here is: "KUKAKÖ in the circus tent - ring free: a colorful world!". In Saxony-Anhalt, according to their own statements, 190 clubs with around 17,600 carnival participants are currently organized in the state carnival association.
