🎉 Germany’s Biggest Carnival Celebration, Köln / Cologne Rose Monday 2024, 4K HDR 60fps

In this video, you will see the colorful hustle and bustle of the Rose Monday parade (Rosenmontagszug) in Cologne / Köln in February 2024. Join us on a walking video in the city center and along the parade route while experiencing the crazy carnivalists, the magnificent floats, and the countless candies that are thrown into the crowd. Cologne Carnival is one of Europe’s biggest, best & oldest carnivals. Every year millions dress up & spend six crazy days celebrating carnival in Cologne. The city is Germany’s undisputed Carnival King, and the highlight of the carnival season is the six days before the onset of Lent known as the “Crazy Days”. This is when carnival fever takes over the entire city, and for six days Cologne is filled with parties, parades and balls. During “The Crazy Days” millions of high-spirited Germans flood the streets of Cologne wearing the wackiest costumes, while the beer flows freely. Parties occur everywhere in Cologne, in the streets, public squares, restaurants and pubs which stay open for the entire duration of Cologne Carnival. The origins of Cologne Carnival started with Germanic tribes who used to celebrate the winter solstice to worship their gods and exile evil winter demons. Christians later adopted these customs giving them Christian meanings. The motto of Köln Karneval is ‘Kölle Alaaf’, which translates to ‘Cologne above all’, this motto dates back to 1550, when it was said as a toast.

This 4K HDR 60fps video, with high-definition binaural sound, transports you straight into the heart of the festivities. Recorded in February 2024, when temperatures hovered around 13°C.
