On Sunday we'll take our CS'ers to Rodenkirchen in Cologne's South ( https://www.koeln.de/tourismus/karneval/veedelszoch-rodenkirchen_1110815.html ), leaving from our place just a bit north of Dom/HBF by 1pm to arrive at the Commerzbank on Maternusplatz in Köln-Rodenkirchen by 2pm (YES - with streets closed and all that jazz it will take that long!!!), to party Carnival the way it's done in all of Cologne's districts: watch the local parade ( https://maps.app.goo.gl/rLA8thT9DKpD3z418 ) to catch lots of sweets and Strüßjer [ StrÜssJair ] (little bunch of flowers)! So make sure you're equipped with bags for that and enough of "Kölsch" (bottles) for yourself! Though there are also a couple of places nearby selling Kölsch and also some fast food joints and street vendors selling pizza or steak and sausages in rolls etc.
Later that evening Hanna and Ulf with some of our CS'ers (and whoever else dares to join us) will go to party on very, very, VERY differently at the KitKatClub @ Bootshaus ("Carnival 2025 SUN 02 03 EVE KitKatClub@Bootshaus" - ☞!ⒻⒾⓃⒹ ⒶⓁⓁ ⒸⓈ&ⒻⒷ-ⓁⒾⓃⓀⓈ ⒷⒺⓁⓄⓌ!☜), pre-partying for that at our flat in Nippes (Eichstr. 44, 50739 Cologne) from about 7:30pm on.
We won't stay for toooooooooo long, though, since we have to GET UP RATHER EARLY the next morning!

HOW AND WHERE CAN "LATERCOMERS" MEET US ON SUNDAY:
We should be at the point from where we'll watch the parade - right in front of the Commerzbank on Hauptstr in Rodenkirchen ( https://goo.gl/maps/Wz2Dqwth6yG2 ) - by 2pm and have a few beers and perhaps a sandwich or something from some of the street vendors there (kebab, pizza, steak or sausages from the grill...). But you can also just join us later there, as long as you can make it before about 2:30pm (which means: leaving from Dom/HBF shortly past 1:30pm at the latest).
After the parade we'll make it for our place in Köln-Nippes (north of the city center) before going later to the party at the KitKatClub @ Bootshaus ("Carnival 2025 SUN 02 03 EVE KitKatClub@Bootshaus" - ☞!ⒻⒾⓃⒹ ⒶⓁⓁ ⒸⓈ&ⒻⒷ-ⓁⒾⓃⓀⓈ ⒷⒺⓁⓄⓌ!☜)
In order to find out where we are, try and contact anyone of us first - THOUGH getting hold of one of us might be tricky and take a while...
Try the WhatsApp group and/or check the posts and discussion threads on the EVENT PAGES AND (if you can) CHECK THE DESCRIPTION HERE AGAIN FOR ANY LAST-MINUTE UPDATES (that I might even add after the "event started") BEFORE YOU COME TO JOIN US!
AND check the Google Photos Album where ALL THE LATEST PICS OF US WILL BE UPLOADED to see what we look like each day!):

Also read "C: COMMUNICATIONS" on the Main Event Page "Cologne Carnival 2025 - THU 27 Feb -> TUE 04 Mar" - ☞!ⒻⒾⓃⒹ ⒶⓁⓁ ⒸⓈ&ⒻⒷ-ⓁⒾⓃⓀⓈ ⒷⒺⓁⓄⓌ!☜ !)!!!
　
If you stored your stuff at main station's automatic locker machines, then you can always pick it up at night when you go home. THAT MIGHT BE AFTER MIDNIGHT (e.g. if you stay join us for the KitKatClub...) - so IF YOU CANNOT use the automatic locker machines but have to use the "Gepäckcenter" counter at the Douglas perfumery instead, then also consider bringing your stuff to some other place for at that counter you can only pick it up the next morning...
MAKE SURE YOU'RE WEARING YOUR COSTUME BEFORE MEETING UP WITH US - YOU DON'T WANNA LOOK LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT, DO YOU???
