Crazy Days On the first of the Crazy Days (Tolle Tage) of Carnival, a procession takes place based on the local legend of Jan and Griet. Jan von Werth worked for a farmer and was very much in love with Griet, who refused him, hoping to find a wealthy husband. In desperation, Jan went off to fight in the Thirty Years War. However, he came back many years later as a highly honored hero who went on to become a general. |
