Greth Schell (20.02.2012)

Gret Schell comes alive once a year: on the Monday of Carnival Week.
Accompanied by seven jesters, she carries her drunken husband home through the old town in a pannier on her back. The children shout out "Gret Schellebey" and catch the handfuls of sweets thrown to them. The Carpenters', Turners' and Coopers' Guilds keep this custom alive, which is probably more a good tale than a true story, as it is also found in a similar form in France and Germany.
