Carnival Monday (Rosenmontag, Fasching, Karneval, Fastnacht) is just before the beginning of Lent. Many people mark the occasion in some regions in Germany by holding street parades, parties and making fun of German stereotypes, politicians and other public figures.
Shrove Monday is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours.
Rosenmontag, or Carnival Monday, is celebrated with street parades and parties where people dress up in costumes in some parts of Germany.
Carnival parades with floats are held in many villages, towns and cities in Germany. The parades in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Aachen and Mainz are especially well-known. The floats generally make a mockery of German habits or local, national and international politicians and public figures. Many floats carry figures up to seven meters (22 feet) high. They often present recent events or taboo subjects in a satirical way.
Marching bands and local associations also take part in the parades. Large parades often attract thousands of spectators. Spectators often dress as mythical or political figures, with men often dressing as women.
There are also other local customs. In many places, people sing songs that are critical of recent events or figures of authority, such as politicians, police officers and even teachers. People in Cologne may cut off strangers' neck ties, as these are seen as symbol of authority. Special cabaret or other theatrical performances are held in southern Germany.
Carnival Monday is not a national public holiday in Germany. However, schools and some other organizations are closed and many people have one or more days off work in many Catholic areas. Public life generally focuses on carnival activities. There may be some local disruption to traffic, as roads in city and town centers are closed for the parades to take place.
The traditions around the Carnival period are thought to have begun in the Roman period over two thousand years ago. It was customary that the servants and slaves played the role of masters for one day each year. This tradition is reflected in the custom of making a mockery of local, national and international leaders and public figures in modern times.
Carnival also marks the end of the period before Lent for many Christians. Lent is the name for the period before Easter . Some Christians fast and spend a lot of time in prayer during Lent. Traditionally, people did not eat meat, sugar or eggs or drink alcohol during this period. Remaining stores of these products were eaten in the Carnival period.
The German name for Carnival Monday is Rosenmontag . This name comes from the German dialect word roose meaning "frolic" and Montag meaning "Monday". The name was also originally used for the fourth Monday of lent because the pope traditionally consecrated a golden rose on the Sunday before. Other related holidays include Shrove or Carnival Tuesday and Ash Wednesday , which are celebrated worldwide, as well as Good Friday , Easter Sunday and Easter Monday in Germany.

Easter Monday ( Ostermontag ) is an annual public holiday in Germany that follows Easter Sunday, which remembers Jesus Christ's resurrection, according to Christian belief. It is observed with various local customs. These include early morning candle-lit parades, walks in the countryside and egg races.
Easter Monday is a public holiday. It is a day off for the general population, and schools and most businesses are closed.
The customs on egg races vary during Easter time in Germany.
People in some areas, especially southern Germany, go out for a candle-lit parade ( Emmausgang ) early in the morning to remember the walks that Jesus made after his crucifixion and resurrection. The parades end with a church service. People who do not join the parade may travel to the countryside for a walk and to enjoy the spring surroundings later in the day. Processions or walks through fields of winter crops may be held in rural areas to mark the symbolic end of the winter and the start of the spring.
Egg races ( Eierlauf ) are held in some villages. The customs on egg races vary. Some are children's events where children race with eggs (or potatoes) on spoons. The children run to the finish line as quickly as possible with the egg still on the spoon. Other events are for young men to prove their readiness to marry. These eggs are rolled down hills and the men chase after them. The winner is the man who gets to the bottom of the hill first.
Easter Monday is a public holiday in all German states. Post offices, banks, stores and other businesses are closed. However, some tourist stores may be open and stores at railway stations, airports and along highways are usually open. There are some restrictions on selling alcohol, public performances and dancing. Public transport services may run as usual, a reduced service or no service depending on where one lives or wants to travel.
The church celebrations of Christmas, Easter and Pentecost traditionally lasted for a whole week. Now, many modern communities celebrate these holidays as single days. The public holiday on Easter Monday served to enable working people to attend the church services.
