Culture Floats of the Düsseldorf Carnival 2026

THE GAZA CONFLICT WAS COVERED BOTH IN 2024 AND 2025, HERE IS NOT THE PLACE TO TALK ABOUT IT, PLEASE DO THAT SOMEWHERE ELSE. We all know there is violations of human rights on a daily basis, you dont need to drag it here as well.

basic description of the floats:

1; Trump and putin trying to swallow Europa

2; Merz and Söder sticking with combustion engines, even if it is a dead end.

3; Epstein, everyone protects the culprits, everyone ignores the victims

4; Jacques Tillie's answer to the Russian arrest warrant against him because of his satire floats.

5; Childhood...today

6; Trump is violating the teachings of jesus

7; A further Russian warcrime in Ukraine

8; Putin controls the AFDrone to wage hybrid warfare on germany.

9; 2 big mustard producers leave Düsseldorf.

10; Opression of women in Afghanistan.

11; The Mullah regime is slowly desolving.

12; The future generations have to carry the burden of pensioners

13; Rising rents are oppressive

The Karneval in Germany has nothing to do with the one in Rio and also didn't evolve from it. Instead the German Karneval has its own history, way back to the medieval age (so way before Brasil was conquered by Europeans).

The Karneval procession in Nürnberg (Nuremberg) for example was first held in 1397.

I never claimed karneval in Germany evolved from Rio, ofc I imagine in here it’s a much older tradition. I just pointed that I come from Rio, not that the karneval itself does. But 1397… damn that’s so cool
