There are national elections (Bundestagswahl) taking place on 23rd February this year, which just happens to be in the middle of the carnival season.
This means that some of the events have had to be rescheduled to avoid colliding with the election, otherwise rooms and halls would not be available.
I talked to the organising committee (Narrenrat) in Oberursel about it for the Oberurseler Woche. Click here to read my article (in German).
