Alt-Stockacherinnen

Alt-Stockacherinnen is the oldest women’s group within the Hohe Grobgünstige Narrengericht zu Stocken, a traditional carnival institution in Stockach. The group celebrates local heritage and the region’s Fasnet, or carnival, traditions, with a particular focus on historic women’s dress. Its distinctive attire includes a traditional Vorderösterreich costume and the Bodensee Radhaube, a decorative headpiece associated with the Lake Constance area.

The group’s website introduces its members and history, and shares information about its board, special members, and the traditions surrounding its costume and headwear. Visitors can browse photographs, check upcoming dates, and find details about applying to join. The site also highlights activities for children and young people, helping introduce younger generations to the group’s community and customs. One featured gathering is the group’s festive Damenkaffee, a ladies’ carnival coffee event where participants can enjoy a social occasion and prepare for the next Fasnet season. Alt-Stockacherinnen welcomes visitors to learn about its long-standing traditions and take part in its carnival community.
