doesn’t happen by itself.

Where do the funds come from that make the elaborate productions, the great floats, the brilliant ceremonies possible in the first place? Who pulls the strings behind the scenes and who helps to maintain the beautiful customs here on the sunny side of the Rhine? On the next pages you will get the answers.

Foundation

The laundress princess rules Beuel. And money the world.

The association has the task of supporting the Beuel Women’s Carnival ideologically and financially and thus making it possible in the first place. Because despite all the love and enthusiasm for the colourful hustle and bustle, our Festival of Joy is always a financial matter – and we are happy to have such an active and committed association. The association pursues exclusively charitable goals, this non-profit status is officially attested. Since 24 May 2012, Ina Harder has been chairwoman and successor to Evi Zwiebler, who has chaired the association since it was founded. Their goal and aspiration is to further increase the attractiveness of the Beuel Women’s Carnival, which is already known far beyond the borders of the city, together with all those involved, and to cultivate the wonderful tradition with all its facets.

District Administration Office Beuel

When it comes to the train, the ball is in the court of the Beuel district administration office.

Whoever says Zug, in the same breath also says Federal City of Bonn, Beuel District Administrative Office. Ralf Birkner and his team work with great pleasure to promote our customs. They are in charge when it comes to the annual carnival parade in our city. That’s right, the Zoch is not – as you might have assumed – organized by the carnival association or festival committee, but by the highest authorities. This is by no means common, as an authority has better things to do than pave the way for candy-throwing jesters. But the commitment of the Beuel district administration office shows the high status of Weiberfastnacht in all parts of the city and beyond the city limits. District mayor Guido Pfeiffer, like many district mayors before him, is trying with all his might to defend his town hall.
Whether it will be possible to keep the women away from the town hall remains questionable…. District Administration Office Beuel

Convention

Anyone who wants to support us in an unconventional way becomes a member of the convention.

You don’t have to be a major sponsor, multimillionaire or lucky heir to support the Beuel Women’s Carnival. In 2016, the board of our association supplemented its statutes with the “Convent of Sponsors”. Since then, anyone who supports our world-class event in a particularly financial or factual way can become a member of the convention. As a sign of the good deed, the members are allowed to wear a special cap with a corresponding badge in return. Since then, the convent congregation has been growing steadily, caps and medals are increasing. Ingo Bley has been elected President of the Convention since 2023. The former president and founding member of the Convention, Walter Raderschall, passed away on 27.12.2022 at the age of 67. He has made a significant contribution to the fact that the association has grown steadily.

We are going to be BIG – 1 Euro per week and the Beueler Weiberfastnacht lives on!

Under this motto, the Förderverein Beueler Weiberfastnacht has decided to offer membership for 52 euros per year in addition to the members of the convent and circle of friends. Every “Jeck” should have the opportunity to support the carnival tradition, but above all the Beuel Women’s Carnival and to participate inactively in it.

Working Group

It’s all happening here – no wonder with 500 ladies.

The Beueler Weiberfastnacht working group is the think tank of the annual hustle and bustle. More than 550 ladies are organized here in 19 women’s committees and organize the entire Beuel carnival on a voluntary basis and without any financial interest. Under the direction of Obermöhn Ina Harder, in addition to the head and the employees of the Beuel district administration office and other administrative offices, mainly volunteers are involved.
the presidents of the Beuel women’s committees and the representatives of the aid organizations. This circle is completed by the commander of the Beuel city soldiers, representatives of the Old Beuel Ladies Committee and the Ladies Committee, which provides the washer princess in the respective session. The district mayor is a permanent guest in this body.
Organization of the presentation of the washer and LiKüRa princess, the implementation of the Weiberfastnacht parade and finally as a highlight of the session: the traditional storming of the town hall with the subsequent carnival party in the town hall. Nothing motivates the committed people more than the pride in their own history with the globally unique washer princess, who has developed into a great popular figure for the entire region

Women’s Committees

Polygamy has a long tradition with us.

Beuel is the cradle of Weiberfastnacht and the attraction of our original Beuel Weiberfastnacht is greater than ever, even after almost 200 years. So it is not surprising that we now have 19 women’s committees, all of which have made it their task to preserve, cultivate and revive the beautiful tradition and customs of Weiberfastnacht. If you would like to learn more about the individual women’s committees, you have the opportunity to do so by visiting the individual websites.

Wagon builders

They dare quite a lot: our wagon builders.

For many, the highlight of each session is the festive parade on the morning of Weiberfastnacht. When the Zoch starts moving at 9.45 a.m. sharp, not only the princess’s heart swells. Now the whole art of the teams is also showing, who have built and fine-tuned behind the scenes until the last second to bring the impressive cars onto the roads. With a lot of creativity and attention to detail, they transform Beuel into a wagon camp of a different kind.
In order to be able to enjoy the whole hustle and bustle to the fullest, our order painters and sign painters also deserve a big thank you. Without her fantastic work, the Beuel Women’s Carnival would not have this unique radiance.
