Fastnacht Carnival Video
In Germany its known as the fifth season, its a time to shake off the winter blues, don some elaborate threads and take to the streets to usher in Spring. Its Carnival time and if you thought it was a predominantly South American celebration, think again.
Marc Pingry and his team takes a look at some of Germany's Carnival festivities from the round-the-clock free-for-all in Cologne to the more traditional celebrations of the Black Forest region in the country's south - where hand-made costumes and hand-carved wooden masks, still mark the occasion.
