A Rose Monday for Peace How the parade became a demonstration. The outbreak of war in Ukraine turns the carnival into a secondary matter. This film tells how the Cologne Rose Monday parade became one of the largest peace demonstrations in Germany. Parade leader Holger Kirsch actually wanted to hold the Cologne Rose Monday parade in Cologne's RheinEnergie Stadium due to the pandemic. When the war broke out, it was clear to him and the carnivalists of the Cologne Carnival Festival Committee: the parade would be cancelled and a peace demonstration would take place.
