Geluksplek 25 Roerdalen: De Raad van Elf

The carnival monument of Posterholt is located near two benches: the Biemosjebaum. What could that word mean? Five of the six church villages of Roerdalen have such a carnival monument. Carnival is celebrated here for Lent in a way that is consistent with the Rhineland. Each carnival association has its own prince and a Council of Eleven. Eleven has traditionally been the number of fools and madmen. Happiness is never far away. Carnival stands for humor, freedom and fun.
