Fasching, or the Carnival season in Germany, begins on November 11th at 11:11 AM as a nod to the number 11, which is often associated with foolishness and the spirit of merriment. This date marks the start of the pre-Lenten festivities, culminating in the celebrations leading up to Ash Wednesday. The choice of time and date reflects the playful and subversive nature of the carnival, allowing for a period of revelry before the solemnity of Lent.
