Corona mercilessly does not stop at fools and carnivalists, unfortunately the? Foolish knights ?? from Herschbach currently experience painful.
Herschbach. Except for the foolish knights the dramatic situation affects all jokes and fools. For this reason, the WW-Kurier had arranged to meet Hartmut Pfeifer, the President of the “Foolish Knights”, in his private home for an interview.
Hartmut Pfeifer, a highly decorated Jeck, encourages all fools
If you look at Harmut Pfeifer’s biography, everyone knows immediately that he has been drinking the sweet blood of Carnival from childhood and has not been able to get away from it since. He started in 1964 as a child prince in Herrschbach, from 1976 to 1987 he was the president of the Herschbach Carnival Society, from 1974 to 1994 member and front man of the legendary “Holzbachlerchen”, 1989 “Prince Hartmut I from the foolish stage”, and since 1990 chairman of the meeting of the “Foolish Knights Westerwald” without interruption. If the gentlemen’s meeting takes place in 2022, as hoped, Hartmut will run the business for the 33rd time as President. In addition, Pfeifer is a holder of the Order of Merit in silver and in gold of the German Laienspielverband.
The author was led into the stylish bar of the house, which is more like a carnival museum. There are around 250 session medals hanging on the walls, he still has around a hundred medals in a box, as Hartmut revealed. There are also many photos and collages to marvel at, carnival sculptures, certificates of honor, event posters and other memorabilia that make the heart of every carnivalist beat faster.
When asked how the carnivalists and especially the “foolish knights” in the carnival stronghold of Herschbach experienced the pandemic, Hartmut stopped laughing. Pfeifer: ?? In addition to the ?? foolish knights ??, there is also the carnival society (KG) and the Möhnenverein ?? Fidelio ?? in Herschbach. As you can see from this, the carnival in Herschbach has a long tradition, it is part of the history of Herschbach as a custom. All clubs suffer massively from the regulations and restrictions issued because of the pandemic. I can claim myself as President of the Foolish Knights. express their views specifically on our legendary gentlemen’s meeting in the Hergispach-Halle. After the gentlemen’s meeting is before the next gentleman’s meeting. After the successful 31st gentlemen’s meeting on January 11th, 2020, we immediately set the course for the upcoming 32nd meeting, which was to take place on January 9th, 2021. So that we succeed in attracting top-class carnival performers to Herschbach again and again, we of course have to be quick to get to well-known speakers and music groups. Over the years we have really made a name for ourselves in the industry because we have largely adopted the Cologne style of carnival. Again and again we succeed in engaging stars of the scene, for example the? Kölsch Fraktion ??, ?? Ausbild Schmidt ??, ?? ne Knallkopp ??, the ?? Mennekrather ??, ?? Willi and Ernst ?? , ?? Ne Usjeflippte ??, Kai Kramosta and others. After we signed the contracts with many well-known artists for 2021, Corona got in our way. From now on we had to cancel all of our plans and cancel everything.
Great praise for the artists who were not allowed to perform in 2021
Hartmut Pfeifer continues: ?? The affected artists, whom we invited for our session in 2021, showed their solidarity after the rejection became official. Without any ifs or buts, they agreed to perform at our 33rd meeting, which should take place on January 8, 2022, under the agreed conditions. That is why we regularly send prayers to heaven so that we can finally get back to normal. are allowed to live.
?? We of the foolish knights ?? Of course you also notice how difficult it is to keep in touch with one another, especially since you are not allowed to meet. For this reason, we talk to each other a lot on the phone, and we also carried out a joint Christmas campaign in which each member received a bag of sweets, and there was also a meal voucher worth 25 euros in the bag, which was available in our eatery? Am Markt ?? could be redeemed. We have not been spared the worries of many other clubs to keep all members in line. It will only go on if you don’t lose optimism and look to the future with hope. Solidarity is the foundation of the existence of an association. In any case, we assume that we can hold our gentlemen’s meeting again in 2022, and we wish all other clubs that they should be strong. Anyone who survived the unfortunate pandemic as a club has passed the endurance test. Wolfgang Rabsch
