Wer einmal eine Kohlfahrt mitgemacht hat, wird es immer wieder tun und steckt andere an. Davon ist unsere Redaktion überzeugt.
Der gebürtige Bremer Armin Grewe bringt die Kohlfahrt nach England.
Wir stellen seine Seite hier kurz vor.

Kohlfahrten are only known in north west Germany
and usually take place during January and February,
preferably on a sunny and cold day. But I've also been
on a Kohlfahrt where it rained the wholly day. So be prepared
if you are ever invited to one...

You can only go on a Kohlfahrt if you are invited
to one or if you organise one yourself. Usually you go with a group,
be it your company or department, be it the football
team you're in or just the people you studied with at university.
It's not like the Octoberfest in Munich, where anybody can just turn up,
put on Lederhosen and a silly hat and start drinking lots of beer. |

Kohlfahrten mostly happen over the weekend, usually on a Saturday afternoon.
You meet some time early afternoon, say around 2pm.
The organiser has a "Bollerwagen" (hand-cart) full with everything you need
for the next few hours: Some Kohl (the green stuff you see on the picture),
something to eat and most importantly lots to drink. "Saurer" and "Plum",
both a type of schnapps popular during these events. You have a drink at every
(well, may be not every) corner, bridge or other opportunity.
Well prepared you head off for a walk which will last a few hours...

Usually around 6pm or 7pm you arrive at your destination:
A restaurant serving "Kohl und Pinkel". In most cases they serve several
groups and have also arranged entertainment. I estimate around 300-400
guests were at this venue:
Once everyone has arrived the meal is served: Kohl und Pinkel! |
