How many and which German Carnival Monday Processions were canceled in 2016?
Question by Hero12 | 2016-02-09 at 12:39
Yesterday I was at the Carnival in Cologne and I have the viewed the Rosenmontagszug there.
From some other cities, however, I have heard that the processions were canceled there. Allegedly because of a bad storm. I paid extra attention to it in Cologne and frankly did not notice anything about a storm, most of the time even the sun was shining.
Therefore, I would be interested to know in how many cities the trains got a cancellation and in which cities that was the case.
Incidentally, the opinion among the people I spoke in Cologne was that it was not the storm that caused the cancellation, but the events on New Year's Eve and the fear that something could happen at Carnival (the weather forecast was just right, but otherwise would never have led to a refusal). In addition, it was said one would probably need the police all in Cologne and there would not be enough forces in Germany to guard so many processions at the same time. Even a policewoman said so.
From this point of view, it would be interesting to know how many events are still possible at the same time.

I looked around a bit in the net and found a total of 59 canceled shrove monday processions (Rosenmontagszüge), including even carnival strongholds such as Dusseldorf or Mainz.
