"Sehr nahe an der Karnevalshochburg Köln liegt das kleine Eifel-Städtchen Blankenheim an der Quelle der Ahr, in dem bereits seit 1613 uralte Karnevalsbräuche bewahrt werden. Bereits im Jahre 1986 überließ die Gemeinde Blankenheim den Narren das mitten im Ort stehende uralte "Georgstor".

Es entstand ein Karnevalsmuseum, in dem alle schriftlichen, bildhaften und gegenständlichen Zeugnisse über das Blankenheimer Karnevalsbrauchtum gesammelt wurden. Uralte Dokumente, Bilder und Plakate, sowie die Traditionsfiguren im Blankenheimer Karneval lassen den Besuch zu einem Erlebnis werden.

Verwirklicht wurde die Idee des "Blankenheimer Karnevalsmuseums" 1990.
Eine ständige Ausstellung, die über Tradition und Karnevalsbräuche informiert.

EN (Translation):

"Very close to the carnival stronghold Cologne lies the small Eifel town Blankenheim at the source of the Ahr, where ancient carnival customs have been preserved since 1613. Already in 1986, the municipality of Blankenheim left the ancient "Georgstor" in the middle of the village to the fools.

A carnival museum was created in which all written, pictorial and representational testimonies about Blankenheim's carnival traditions were collected. Ancient documents, pictures and posters, as well as the traditional figures in the Blankenheim Carnival make the visit an experience.

The idea of the "Blankenheim Carnival Museum" was realized in 1990.
A permanent exhibition that informs about tradition and carnival customs.
