Carnival in Germany, Switzerland and Austria
A variety of customs and traditions are associated with Carnival celebrations in the German-speaking countries of Germany, Switzerland and Austria. They can vary considerably from country to country, but also from one small region to another. This is reflected in the various names given to these festivities occurring before Lent.
==Names==
In parts of East and South Germany, as well as in Austria, the carnival is called ''Fasching''. In Franconia and Baden-W%C3%BCrttemberg as well as some other parts of Germany, the carnival is called ''Fas(t)nacht'' or ''Fasnet''; in Switzerland, ''Fasnacht''.
While Germany's carnival traditions are mostly celebrated in the predominantly Roman Catholic southern and western parts of the country, the Protestant North traditionally knows a festival under the Low Saxon names ''Fastelavend'' , ''Fastelabend'' and ''Fastlaam'' (also spelled ''Fastlom'') . This name has been imported to Denmark as ''Fastelavn'' and is related to ''Vastelaovend'' in the Low-Saxon-speaking parts of the Netherlands. It is traditionally connected with farm servants or generally young men going from house to house in the villages and collecting sausages, eggs and bacon, which was consumed in a festivity on the same evening. While going from house to house they wore masks and made noise. The old tradition vanished in many places, in other places under influence of German carnival traditions it came to resemble carnival with its parades.
