About Swabian Alemannische Fasnet

Schwäbische Alemannische Fasnet - View this group's most interesting photos on Flickriver

The Swabian Alemannische Fasnet is the fifth season in the region of Upper Swabia, the Black Forest and in parts of Switzerland.

In the foreground of Customs should stand. Wanted are photographs of masks, larvae, Haesen Customs and other demonstrations. Interestingly, of course, the parades and the particularities of individual guilds.
Would be helpful if the tags in the Fools' Guild and the city would assign.

Characteristic is the masks of the participants with larvae or Schemmen (masks), mostly made of wood, in exceptional cases, but also from fabric, paper, clay, tin or wire (called Drahtgaze) exist. The costume makers (Swabian-Alemannic areas Hästräger) change their disguise (Häs) is not from year to year, but they always retain. In some areas, it is customary to them for generations to inherit.
