It is also known as Altweiberfasching, Altweiberfastnacht or simply Altweiber (Krieewelsch: Aalwiewer).In its heartland of the Rheinland, Weiberfastnacht is an unofficial holiday, and most places of work close at midday. The celebrations normally begin at 11.11 am. Unlike Rosenmontag (Rose Monday), which is celebrated on the Monday before Ash Wednesday, there are no processions. People dress up in costumes and celebrate in bars and in the street. It is customary for women to cut off men's ties (a symbol of male potency) on Weiberfastnacht, leaving the men to walk around with just the stump. In return the men are compensated with a Bützchen (kiss).
