In the name of „Jokus“ (lat. joke, fun)
For Katharina Junck vh. Metzroth, the conviviality of the Saalfastnacht, Kreppelkaffee, Elferrat and costumes for the street carnival were the balance to her meagre life. She always longed for the fifth season, was there with heart and soul and right in the thick of it.
Of course, she was a founding member of the ‘Narrebrunne 1949 Trechtingshausen Carnival Club’ in 1949. In 2023, her grandson Alfred found a wardrobe containing her carnival costume while clearing out the attic. She must have developed a foolish streak very early on like the girl in the French postcard.
