Klaus Weichelt: 20 Years of Carnival in Dresden
For approximately two decades, Dresden has hosted a carnival that stands out for its unconventional character and distinctive atmosphere. Over the years, the event has become an established part of the city’s cultural life. One of its key figures is Dresden-based musician Klaus Weichelt.
Klaus Weichelt has been involved in the carnival since its early days and is regarded as one of its founding participants. Throughout the years, he has shaped the character of the event through musical performances, unusual costumes and creative stage appearances.
The carnival originally emerged as a space for artistic freedom beyond traditional performance formats. Music, humour and theatrical elements play a central role. For Weichelt, the carnival continues to offer an opportunity for creative expression and direct interaction with the audience.
Today, the Dresden carnival combines live music with staged performances and elements of street carnival culture. Each year, a specific theme is chosen, and visitors are encouraged to take part by wearing costumes. The event traditionally takes place during the carnival season and has become firmly established in Dresden’s annual event calendar.
As such, the Dresden carnival represents a long-standing urban tradition shaped in large part by the involvement of local artists and musicians, including Klaus Weichelt.
