Rathaussturm
A Rathaussturm ("town hall storming") is a German carnival tradition, held primarily in the Rhineland, in which costumed revelers symbolically "storm" the town hall and take power from the mayor for the duration of the carnival season. The mayor typically hands over the keys of the city in a ceremonial act, symbolizing that the "fools" now rule until Ash Wednesday.
