The latest news in English from Oberursel in the Taunus area of Germany.
Charcoal fires, as used by some organisations, are not going to be allowed at the carnival procession in Oberursel this year.
Their use has been banned as a precaution, as the sparks that they produce may set fire to the light-weight clothing and wigs that many spectators and participants wear.
Anyone wishing to use a fire, eg. a barbecue, as part of their float is advised to use a gas flame or cooker instead.
