A top carnival star had to stop one of his appearances in a marquee prematurely. The organizer apparently draws consequences after the unsuccessful show.

  • Comedian Bernd Stelter appeared at the carnival in Gelsenkirchen.
  • But he broke off after a few minutes.
  • The organizer draws its lessons.

Gelsenkirchen - Despite a storm warning, the carnival will be celebrated in many places in 2020 as well. So also in Gelsenkirchen . And although the big city in the Ruhr area is not necessarily the first place name that could come up with a keyword Carnival, it was already going high on Weiberfastnacht . Even so high that the good mood was fatal to a star when he appeared.

No less than Bernd Stelter , for whom the carnivalist is a professional alongside comedian, TV presenter and actor, should perform on Thursday at the Rathaussturm in Gelsenkirchen - Buer in the marquee on the festival meadow. As the WAZ (behind the pay barrier) reports, however, Stelter was not on stage for long. This is said to have been mainly due to the good mood of the audience in Gelsenkirchen.

Bernd Stelter already worried before performing in Gelsenkirchen

For Stelter it was the premiere at the carnival in Gelsenkirchen. He was excited to tell the sheet before the performance behind the stage. He was worried in advance because: "I brought a speech with me - people have to listen to it," said Stelter.


According to the report, however, his hope was not heard. The several hundred jokes in the marquee continued to celebrate loudly, even when Stelter entered the stage. Even when he asked for silence for the first time, there should have been little change in the level. The experienced carnivalist obviously took it professionally and dealt with the situation spontaneously. First he tried his well-planned sung review of the year. But after a few lines he is said to have broken it off, as there was apparently no way through.

Stelter leaves the stage prematurely - the organizer suspected it and is taking consequences

According to the report, Stelter threw out his program completely and put on songs that he could sing with the audience. There were three songs by Stelter in Gelsenkirchen. The audience should also have gone along with it. But then Stelter left the stage again, probably because he just couldn't spontaneously recite songs.

According to the report, Bernd Stelter's appearance in Gelsenkirchen lasted just under ten minutes . Expensive ten minutes for the organizers. Gerd Schwenzfeier, the president of the festival committee, told WAZ: "We could have imagined that he wouldn't get a leg on the floor with us." Before that one would have tried several times to include speeches in the program - with similar resounding success. In the future, no more speakers will be required, Schwenzfeier continues.

Since a storm lows across Germany, some carnival parades had to be canceled. In Cologne there was also a tragic accident: a woman was run over by a train. A sad detail shocked the police.

A well-known German blogger was able to fight for her life for a long time. Now she has passed away and leaves a moving message.
