In our words:
The Veedelszoch in Nippes and Weidenpesch is one of the oldest traditional district parades in Cologne: it has been taking place every year since 1914. The Zoch is organized by the Nippeser Bürgerwehr - the Appelsinefunke. The perfect place to go on Veilchendienstag. ✨
In the organizer's words:
The Veedelszoch in Nippes is one of the oldest traditional district parades in Cologne: it has been taking place every year since 1914. The parade is organized by the Nippes militia - the Appelsinefunke. The parade has only been interrupted by bans, world wars and the Gulf War in 1991.
What's particularly cool about the Nippeser Zoch on Veilchendienstag is its informality: anyone can take part! There is no prescribed motto or minimum group size.

Procession route: Friedrich-Karl-Straße - Neusser Straße - Wilhelmstraße - Merheimer Straße - Sechzigstraße - Ulrich-Zell-Straße - Hartwichstraße - Merheimer Straße - Merheimer Platz - Siebachstraße - Cranachstr.
