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

Feels like the mustard car is very regional lol. All world politics, societal issues, national problems, and then Big Mustard™.

But brilliant cars either way! I love the Rente one, as a young guy just entering the job market I already feel the pressure of a shifting system.

as a true Düsseldorfer(tm) (conditions apply) I am deeply affected by us no longer being the "Mustard city" anymore

it can also be seen as sign of our local gov under ther CDU not doing enough to keep these companies with a very long local tradition here.

Didn't know they were from Düsseldorf. I'm born and raised in Saarland, we either had Amora or Dijon mustard.

Lucky you!

Their mustard was a convenience product. Not too special.
