The 11th of November is a special day - not only for carnival fans on the Rhine, but also for fools and jesters in the Allgäu. At 11:11 a.m., they symbolically take over power: The carnival season begins. In Memmingen, this day has tradition - here the fools' guild storms the town hall, disempowers the Lord Mayor and thus heralds the "fifth season". After weeks of preparation, the foolish time begins.
