In the organizer's words:

Karnevalistischer Scheidebecher - Hier tanzt die Politik , was launched many years ago by the spokesperson group of the CDU/CSU members of parliament. For almost 20 years, friends of the Rhenish carnival, carnival and Shrovetide have been celebrating the high festival of the fifth season in a relaxed atmosphere. The party is now known far beyond party boundaries and the German Bundestag, so we cordially invite everyone who keeps political Berlin running to this event. Members of parliament and their teams, employees of the parliamentary groups, the German Bundestag, party headquarters and ministries, journalists and people like you and me who enjoy carnival, Mardi Gras and Shrovetide - you'll find them all here. Having fun, celebrating in a relaxed and cheerful atmosphere and expanding networks are the aims of our carnival party.

After last year's success, this time we will once again have the carnival-experienced DJ Daniel Cologne Hunters from Cologne playing for us. For the hungry, Ballhaus Berlin will also provide typical dishes from the Cologne Fooderkaat (Metthappen, Halver Hahn etc.).
