Lambrecht flies to the moon on a New Year's rocket during the Shrove Monday parade

A bloodthirsty Vladimir Putin in the guise of Nosferatu turns the world through a meat grinder: this time, Cologne's Shrove Monday procession is targeting numerous explosive topics. "We have a lot of serious issues because they are currently moving the world," said train manager Holger Kirsch at the presentation of the car designs on Thursday.

The 200th anniversary of the Cologne carnival runs like a red thread through the entire procession. The 23 satirical floats take up mottos from past sessions and apply them to today's events. Former US President Donald Trump, with his ambitions for a renewed presidential candidacy, has become “Hanswurst's rebirth”, the motto of 1831.

The Cologne carnivalists turn the traffic light coalition into a "Hampel coalition". A polar bear stands on a melting floe and sells off climate adhesive in the winter sale. A petty Secretary of Commerce, Robert Habeck (Greens), makes a deep servant to a giant sheikh, and filing property taxes is too complicated even for Snoopy's humble kennel.

The former Minister of Defense Christine Lambrecht (SPD) is shot into the sky with a New Year's rocket - true to the motto of 1886 "Journey to the moon". Other motifs deal with the energy crisis, the abuse scandal in the church and the football World Cup in Qatar.

After a two-year break due to Corona and the Ukraine war, a large procession is moving through the cathedral city again this time on Shrove Monday (February 20). On the occasion of the anniversary, he starts for the first time on the right bank of the Rhine "Schäl Sick" in Deutz.
