Cologne triumvirate 2026: This is the new royal trio for carnival!

Köln-Lindenthal, Deutschland - On July 8, 2025, the Cologne-Brück volunteer fire brigade was presented in Cologne-Brück's designated Cologne triumvirate for the 2026 carnival session-an event for which not only the city's carnivalists were excited. The performance took place in the festive setting, while the temperatures were high and the summer weather created an exuberant atmosphere. With a clear commitment to tradition and at the same time focus on today, the session motto is: "Mer Dun et För Kölle" ("We do it for Cologne"). This message reflects a new Generation that acts actively, committed and down -to -earth for the city.

The main characters of the Cologne Carnival 2026 are:

• Prince Niklas I. (bourgeois: Niklas Jüngling), 32 years old, living in Cologne-Lindenthal. Worked in the insurance industry professionally, he also gained awareness as a moderator of the "Prince's Schwof".
• Bauer Clemens (Clemens von Blanckart), 41 years old, independent real estate manager and family man from Junkersdorf. He is actively involved in the editorial team of the association magazine "Depesche".
• Jungfrau Aenne (Stefan Blatt), 40 years old, coordinator for Industry 4.0 at Ford. A real Cologne veteran, lives in Rheinkassel and has been a member of the Prince Guard Foot Corps since 2012.

a strong team for Kölle

All three members of the triumvirate come from the Prince Guard Cologne 1906 e.V., which celebrates its 120th anniversary in 2026. With its commitment to customs and comradely coexistence, the guard brings a breath of fresh air to the carnival movement. Christoph Kuckelkorn, President of the Cologne Carnival Committee, paid tribute to the triumvirate for her exemplary commitment and the willingness to create small moments of happiness in the upcoming session.

The Cologne-Brück volunteer fire brigade was not only the very special venue, but also has its own reason to celebrate: it celebrates its 120th anniversary with numerous active members who are involved in the extinguishing group. The members of the fire brigade, a total of 42 active forces and 18 youth fire brigade members, are proud to contribute to the community in Cologne. Their use is indispensable for the security of the city.

from tradition to modernity

The Prince Guard has made a name for itself over the years and is considered one of the oldest corps in the Cologne Carnival. It shows that tradition and modern hand can go in hand. The General Corps appeal in January, when the triumvirate had its last big appearance before the proclamation, is a clear sign of how alive and dynamically the Cologne Fastnacht is. Honors for long -term members were also pronounced here, which underlined the connection within the community.

The commitment of the new triumvirate is more than just one honor - it is an obligation. They not only embody the Cologne attitude to life, but also show how important volunteering and social interaction are today. The anticipation for the upcoming carnival sessions is noticeable, and the mixture of tradition and fresh wind promises an unforgettable time for everyone.
