Fasnacht Einsiedeln 2025
Overview
Intro
Fasnacht - The carnival season is the most beautiful time of the year for many people.
The Einsiedeln carnival, which lasts from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday, includes cattle bells, knocking and tricheln. The carnival societies Bürgerwehr and Goldmäuder - the latter known as "Mäuder" for short - are responsible for the organization.
The Einsiedeln carnival season begins on Epiphany in the evening, usually after bedtime ringing. It lasts until Ash Wednesday and ends with the ringing in of Lent in the monastery church (midnight between Shrove Tuesday and Ash Wednesday), provided that all carnival revellers find their way home! The "Mäuder" speak of a "short carnival" when the time between Epiphany and the carnival period is very short, i.e. when Easter and carnival fall on an early date.
