RKK Deutschland

RKK Deutschland, the Rheinische Karnevals-Korporationen, is a national association supporting carnival, Fastnacht and guard dance sport. Based in Koblenz, it connects regional member organizations while working across Germany. A central part of its role is advising clubs on organizational matters and providing information and resources to help them manage their activities.

The association organizes dance competitions and publishes tournament dates, rules, judging criteria, rankings and annual results. It also supports the development of the sport by offering judge training and inviting applications from experienced dancers. Its calendar includes major events such as the German Championships, as well as gatherings for carnival princesses, children’s princes and women’s carnival groups.

RKK Deutschland also shares practical services and information for members, including tournament credentials, downloads, insurance services, distinctions and awards, and guidance on music licensing. Its website provides news, event details, member access and contact information for the association’s office. Through these activities, RKK Deutschland helps preserve carnival traditions, strengthen clubs and promote competitive dance within the broader carnival community.
