A newly designed window at Beuel City Hall now provides the answer\u2014and permanently showcases the history of Beuel\u2019s Weiberfastnacht.<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, November 7, 2026, the window display was unveiled at 11:11 a.m. In attendance were Ina Harder and Ralf Birkner from the Beuel Women\u2019s Carnival Support Association, District Mayor Marco Rudolph, Oberm\u00f6hn Patty Burgunder, the designated W\u00e4scherprinzessin, and numerous friends of the carnival. Shortly before the start of the carnival season, this special site of Beuel\u2019s traditional customs was thus honored.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;animation-block&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1739801218325{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;animation block&#8221; z_index=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1739801362999{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;-1000&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12588&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;12591&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;animation-block&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1794150075956{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;1&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]A musical highlight was the group singing of the \u201cOde to M\u00f6hneplatz,\u201d with lyrics by Robert Randsberg.<\/p>\n<p>The new design explains the history and significance of Beuel\u2019s Women\u2019s Carnival: the role of the M\u00f6hnen, the tradition of the W\u00e4scherprinzessin, and the storming of City Hall. It highlights how closely the square in front of City Hall is linked to the dedication and history of the women of Beuel.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1739801362999{padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;-1000&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;bottom-to-top&#8221;]Following the Mirecourt window, this is the second town hall window to feature an explanatory and illustrated graphic design. The initiative came from the Beueler Weiberfastnacht Support Association. Ralf Birkner took on the project and organized its implementation. It was funded by the \u201cHeimat-Scheck\u201d from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Local Government, Construction, and Digitalization of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia. The design was created by the advertising agency Nina Probst, and Reproplan handled the installation of the graphics.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re out for a walk, visiting Beuel, or on a school field trip, this window invites you to discover the stories behind M\u00f6hneplatz. At the same time, it honors the special role women play in Beuel\u2019s Weiberfastnacht\u2014both visibly and beyond the carnival season.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On 21.11.2025 the time had finally come: our new washer princess Judith I was ceremoniously proclaimed.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12585,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12594","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-aktuelles-en"],"menu_order":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12594","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12594"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12594\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12612,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12594\/revisions\/12612"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12585"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12594"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12594"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/waescherprinzessin.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12594"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
