ME: passionate to see and meet charming, misunderstood characters. I will come from Potsdam only to attend this wonderful event. Ich spreche fliessend Deutsch. Meine Muttersprache ist Spanisch.
Starting time: 15:00
Meeting point: Let's meet at 15:20 near the entrance of 'The Alley Munich' at Färbergraben. I will have a flag at hand as a signal. The idea is to meet the Krampus closely at the starting point and follow them until the end of the parade, which will end at the Alten Rathaus.
Start and assembly: in Augustiner Straße, then via the pedestrian zone to Färbergraben, Rosental, Viktualienmarkt and to the Old Town Hall.14 attendees
