Bitburg celebrates Fasching

BITBURG, Germany—Women dress in colorful costumes and capture the city hall here March 3. After capturing the city hall, the women parade through the city’s streets. In most German cities and towns, including Bitburg, Wittlich and Speicher, it is a tradition for the ladies to “capture” the local city halls and take the city key from the mayor. This occurs at 11:11 a.m. Fat Thursday. (U.S. Air Force photo/Airman 1st Class Brittney Frees)
