Cologne (dpa / lnw) - In the night after Shrove Monday, the carnival strongholds in North Rhine-Westphalia remained quiet.
"We have not registered any corona violations," said a spokesman for the Cologne police on Tuesday morning.
There were no large gatherings, and carnival parties did not have to be broken up.
According to initial findings, the police also remained calm in Düsseldorf.
Because of the corona pandemic, the fools had to put up with a Rose Monday without carnival parades this year.
In Cologne only a few carnivalists had walked the orphaned route of the Rose Monday procession.
In Dusseldorf there were at least eight themed cars on the street.
Due to the pandemic, the larger than life cartoons did not roll through the city as a train, but rather separately from one another.
In the past year, hundreds of thousands lined the streets in Cologne and Düsseldorf.
There were also numerous operations by the police, rescue operations and the fire brigade.
After Shrove Monday 2020, the Cologne police had received 169 reports, for example for assault and sexual harassment
