Wilde Partys auch ohne Hexennacht: So toll war der Fasching früher in Amberg

Der Fasching 2024/25 biegt auf die Zielgerade ein. Doch nicht nur jetzt, auch in den früheren Jahrzehnten ließen viele Amberger die Puppen tanzen und feierten ausgiebig. Zeit für einen Rückblick auf eine wilde Zeit. Und auf das Josefshaus.

von Susanne Schwab

Eine Aufnahme aus dem Jahr 1990 und damit weit vor der ersten Hexennacht 2002. Damals wurde der Fasching in Amberg ausgelassen im Josefshaus und nicht am Marktplatz gefeiert.
