{{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}} ({{lang-en|Rose Monday}}[1]) is the highlight of the German {{Lang|de|Karneval}} (carnival), and is on the Shrove Monday before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent.[2] Mardi Gras, though celebrated on Tuesday, is a similar event. {{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}} is celebrated in German-speaking countries, including Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Belgium (Eupen, Kelmis), but most heavily in the carnival strongholds which include the Rhineland, especially in Cologne,[3] Bonn, Düsseldorf,[4] Aachen and Mainz.[5] In contrast to Germany, in Austria, the highlight of the carneval is not {{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}}, but Shrove Tuesday.

The name for the carnival comes from the German dialect word {{Lang|de|roose}} meaning "frolic" and {{Lang|de|Montag}} meaning Monday.[1]

Overview

The {{Lang|de|Karneval}} season begins at 11 minutes past the eleventh hour on 11 November and the "street carnival" starts on the Thursday before {{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}}, which is known as {{Lang|de|Weiberfastnacht}} ("women's carnival", Fat Thursday). {{Lang|de|Karneval}} is prevalent in Roman Catholic areas and is a continuation of the old Roman traditions of slaves and servants being master for a day. {{Lang|de|Karneval}} derives from the Latin {{Lang|la|carnem levare}} ("taking leave of meat") marking the beginning of Lent.[6]

Carnival is not a national holiday in Germany, but schools are closed on {{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}} and the following Tuesday in the strongholds and many other areas. Many schools as well as companies tend to give teachers, pupils and employees the Thursday before {{Lang|de|Rosenmontag|italic=no}} off as well and have celebrations in school or in the working place on {{Lang|de|Weiberfastnacht}}, although every now and then there are efforts to cut these free holidays in some companies.{{cn|date=February 2019}}

Celebrations usually include dressing up in fancy costumes, dancing, parades, heavy drinking and general public displays with floats. Every town in the {{Lang|de|Karneval}} areas boasts at least one parade with floats making fun of the themes of the day.[7] Usually sweets ({{Lang|de|Kamelle}}) are thrown into the crowds lining the streets among cries of {{Lang|de|Helau}} or {{Lang|de|Alaaf}}, whereby the cry {{Lang|de|Kölle Alaaf}} is only applied in the Cologne Carnival – {{Lang|de|Alaaf}} stems from or {{Lang|ksh|Alle af}}, Ripuarian for "all [others] away". Sweets and tulips are thrown into the crowd.

The celebrations become quieter the next day, known as {{Lang|de|Veilchendienstag}} ("Violet Tuesday", Shrove Tuesday), and end with Ash Wednesday.
