Hamburg: Hossa, Pee and Promille: the Schlagermove 2018 was so wild in Hamburg

Existing in Hamburg at Schlagermove: disguised as colorful wigs, big sunglbades and flared trousers, tens of thousands of fans cheered on Saturday 46 trucks equipped with integrated music systems that exceeded the Landungsbrücken and Reeperbahn. Hossa, Pipi and Promille

Seventies cult songs like "Fiesta Mexicana" and "Beautiful Maiden" set the tone in the afternoons under a cloudy sky. Forty-six heavy trucks, financed by private individuals and companies with integrated music systems, rolled on the St. Pauli line of 3.3 kilometers every minute

"Get up if you're a hit", sing a group of young people on it. Away from the Landungsbrücken subway station on the Kiez – all dressed in glowing devil horns in brightly colored wigs, Hawaiian shirts, flower chains or even bell bottoms and miniskirts in psychedelic patterns. According to preliminary information from the organizers, nearly 400,000 fans have already adopted the motto Saturday afternoon

In a similar retro strident disguise, many with beer cans, fish sandwiches and sausages in hand, they dance, sing and sway on the area between Heiligengeistfeld, Fischmarkt and Reeperbahn. This is the North Carnival – the 22nd Schlagermove.

Invited stars include Bata Illic, Bernhard Brink and Eva of the Jacob Sisters. For the Aftermove evening in the early evening on DJ Heiligengeistfeld and other prominent artists should entice visitors.

The Schlagermove is controversial. Schlagerfans, the locals suffer from the noise, the Wildpinklern and the many drunken people who sometimes pbad through the gates. Almost no event divides the inhabitants of the city as much as the Hossa parade.
