SUMMARY:Lumpenball- German Mardis Gras

Germans consider this time “the fifth season” of the year\, and it starts on November 11\, or specifically\, on 11.11 at 11:11 am. The festivity will reach its peak the following year with a six-day celebration that ends before Ash Wednesday (March5\, 2025). That’s right; it’s the last days of eating\, drinking\, and merriment before the start of Lent. \nIn other words\, the party lasts and lasts and lasts for nearly 4 months! \nWhat is a Lumpenball?\nThe Lumpenball is the last of the last Parties of Fasching! \n-and arguably the best of the Fashing Parties! \nIn German\, Lumpen is translated as “rags” or “Ragamuffin”…. and a Ball is\, well\, a Ball\, with dancing. \nA Lumpenball\, in translation\, is a Ragamuffin Ball or a dress down to raggy clothing ball- no need to dress fancy ball. \nThe idea is to attend these balls AFTER Fasching\, since you spent all of your money on your New and Fancy Easter outfit (which is hidden away until Easter Sunday)\, Fashing costumes\, drinking\, partying\, and more partying\, all you might have left is just enough to dress in rags or in the best and preferred cases…you only have your old party battered\, worn out and torn costume to wear! \nA Badge of Pride:  Maybe the more wore out your costume has become… it will be seen as sign of how much fun and parting you did! (Drinking\, stumbling\, falling\, tearing holes\, no washing\, drinking\, stumbling\, snagging tearing holes\, no washing\, repeat the next day…my suit is trashed along with me!) \nIn eras and days gone by\, a priority would have been to purchase a new and extremely nice outfit for Easter Sunday.  An outfit to wear to church service and be seen in.  This of course\, would have been done in the midst of the Fasching and would have been a first priority\, thus adding to the idea of having spent a lot of money and only wanting to wear raggy clothing to the party-a Lumpenball.  These Easter Best outfits would have been set aside and not worn until Easter Sunday. \nEnjoy the below videos of Lumpenball’s in Germany \n  \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n						\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n					\n				\n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Saturday March 1\, 2025 7:00 PM\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What’s Next at the Liederkranz

They are a three-piece band consisting of primarily Angie on button accordion and vocals\, Craig Falls on Tuba\, and usually Justin Patrick on Drums. \nAngie\, who started off playing accordion with The Leonard Havranek polka band\, has a distinct love for the music and for people…expect her music to come from the heart and expect a hug! \nCraig has been playing tuba since he first started as a kid and is exceptionally strong at it. He has earned the nickname “Turbo Tuba” for good reason! Craig also plays bass guitar with the famous Sidetrack Band for Nebraska Home football games and brings his bass along to polka gigs for a little variety and to have the opportunity to sing harmony. \nJustin has drummed with many polka bands including Kevin Chelewski. He is always ready to jam with love and polka in his heart. \nWith the three of them together you are sure to have a fun night of dancing and shenanigans! Thank you to Jason Falls who drummed with us for many years. It was so special to have you with us and we wish you all the happiness in the world. Also\, a special thanks to Allen Rerucha who was the original drummer of the band\, taught us so much\, and is always welcome to come share his many talents with us! \n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n						\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n					\n				\n			\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n					Saturday 12\, 2025 7:00 PM\n				\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				What’s Next at the Liederkranz
