Germany’s traditional Women’s Carnival, or Weiberfastnacht, kicked off the street carnival season in Cologne as thousands of revelers flocked to the stronghold to sway, dance, sing and toast together. In western Germany’s Rhineland region, Weiberfastnacht takes place on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday. Traditionally, women take over town halls and cut off men’s ties.
