As the final week approaches for the lavish celebrations, the beloved Prince Uwe I and Lady Venetia Melanie will be greeted withloud honks and showered in silly hearts on Rosenmontag. On Tuesday, they rode in a compact vehicle, sometimes halting traffic to elicit reactions from onlookers with their "Helau" cheers. Each participant's response earned them a kilo of candies for the children's and youth parade on Sunday, collaborating with a delivery service. In total, 300 kilos were gathered, thus fulfilling their duty, followed by the "Zoch."

The "Zoch," beginning at 12:24 pm at Herzog and Corneliusstraße, is only accessible from that corner, asserts Sven Gerling, the leader of the CC-organization. The "Zoch" will be set up on Corneliusstraße, but sweets and more will only be available from the starting point. With 11,285 participants, an increase of 685 from the previous year, the "Zoch" promises to be a spectacle.

Making its journey through the old town and city center, the eccentric parade will traverse Elisabethstraße (excluding Friedrichstraße) on its way to the dissolution point at the Bilk station. Families can find a more spacious viewing spot at the end, as it is expected to be less crowded, says CC vice-Stefan Kleinehr.

Horses, number 18 according to Gerling, have caused much debate. The CC has decided to relocate the animals' departure from the Ubierstraße in Bilk to Fürstenplatz, trimming approximately an hour from the riding time. While protest is permitted for the participating farmers, they are encouraged to highlight their issues from the previous weeks on their vehicles—a spectacle to behold from Jacques Tilly's Mottowagons.

Nicole Nothen, the youth representative for the CC, eagerly anticipates the children's parade on Sunday at 2 pm, with a double-phase departure from Graf-Adolf-Platz (in front of the Telekom column). The parade boasts a record-breaking 6,250 participants, compared to 4,035 in the previous year. Given its size, the children's and youth parade in Düsseldorf ranks among the largest in Europe. Traditionally, all children's prince couples in Düsseldorf vote for the best-costumed group, a decision that may prove difficult this year, as Nothen admits with a laugh. The Rosenmontag parade tribune at the town hall is open to the public for this event.

For Stefan Kleinehr, the reigning prince and princess couple are invaluable, who will be officially bid farewell at the carnival's "Zapfenstreich" on February 13th at 7:30 pm at the town hall. Their school visits and social media activities have earned the admiration of many young carnival enthusiasts.
