Liebe Naerrinnen und Narren!
Ich habe die hohe Ehre, Euer Praesident des Frohsinns zu sein. Willkommen im land der
Naerrischen Leute. Ich Gruesse Euch alle Meine Buerger mit dem Narrengruss “Helau”.
The rumor is out. The Erste Karnevalsgesellschaft has traveled far and wide to find some
attractive fools to be enthroned as Prinz and Prinzessin for our Gala 2015-2016 Karneval
Saison.
“Congratulations” to Prinz Michael II und Prinzessin Anita I, our 47th Royal Couple.
Our Prinzenpaar will lead all fun-loving subjects throughout the land. From the opening
Ball to Aschermittwoch (Ash Wednesday), they will embrace many memories that will last
a life time. The places they will travel, the people they will meet, the foolishness they will
encounter, will add to the fun and excitement just waiting to be shared.
I know our beautiful and talented Prinzengarde will protect our Royalty and entertain us at
our many functions and trips. Their colorful dance and entertainment will be enjoyed by all.
So let’s join together in our Rheinischer Verein style celebration and make this year’s Karnevals session one never to forget.
Thank you one and all as we have a year of merriment and foolishness in 2015-2016.
Viel Spass!

Then came 1964-the year that established the
name of Germania in Cincinnati; the first full year
in the life of our club and probably one of the busiest any board of Germania would ever see. We
started the year by initiating a new custom in
Cincinnati with the introduction of a Rheinland
Karneval, kicked off in February with our first
“Faschings Ball” at the Cotillion Hall in Kennedy
Heights. The dance became an instant success and
were well received and made most enjoyable
through the efforts of Mrs. Emily Schneider. Emily
showed inexhaustible talent and delighted our
guests with her wit and humor, which was amply
displayed in her barrel talks and the programs
which she designed.
The Rheinland Karneval’s celebration was later in
1967 enlarged and expanded by Mr. Ernst Schwab,
who founded the first Elferrat (Council of Eleven).
Through his work, the club has established an
official season and tradition, complete with Elferrat,
Prinz and Prinzessin and Prinzengarde and two
dances each season.
(A paragraph from a speech at the Germania flag
dedication by Wilfried Kollner-1973.)
Recipient of a Service Orden
In Branford, Ontario, Canada, Ernst Schwab, on
behalf of the 1KG Germania Society, is awarded the
verdienst orden (gold with jewels) by Armin Hellman,
president of the BDKK. Also present was Volker
Wagner, president of the BDK, Köln, Deutschland.

About the number “11”
The number “11” plays a key role in Karneval. The Rheinische Karneval starts on the
11th day of the 11th month at 11:11 AM. The “Elferrat has 11 members. All functions
start 11 minutes after the hour. In the middle ages, the church branded the number
“11” as extremeness, excessiveness, sinful, devilish number. It was one more than the
Ten Commandments, one more than the ten ﬁngers on your hands, etc.
Beside that, the “11” is a “Schnapszahl” (schnapps number - prime number) and as
such may be symbolic for all fools (Narren).
During the revival of the Rheinische Karneval at the beginning of the 19th century, the
“11” was interpreted as equality of all people under the “Narrenkappe” or foolscap.
Besides being the slogan of the French Revolution, “Egalite’, Liberte’, Fraternite’,
ELF in German means eleven =11.
