Be it Shrek, Marilyn Monroe or Homer Simpson: Prime Minister Markus Söder (CSU) impressed everyone at Carnival in a wide variety of carnival costumes.

An overview of the last few years.

1 / 17 “Fastnacht in Franconia” 2006: The then parliamentary group leader of the CSU in the Bavarian state parliament, Joachim Herrmann (l.) as a circus director, the then CSU general secretary Markus Söder as an American football player and the then parliamentary state secretary in the Ministry of Economics, Dagmar Wöhrl as a “newspaperwoman”.

2 / 17Very strange: Dressed as the Nuremberg cabaret duo “Waltraud and Mariechen”, Markus Söder (then Bavarian State Minister for German and European Affairs) and his wife Karin arrive at the ceremonial meeting of the Franconian Carnival Association in 2008.

3 / 17At least they match in color: Markus Söder dressed up as a polar bear in 2009, his wife Karin appeared as a nurse at “Fastnacht in Franconia”.

Both in white and red.

4 / 17Old and wise: Markus Söder appears as Gandalf, the wizard from “Lord of the Rings” at the ceremonial meeting in Franconia in 2010.

His wife Karin's costume also comes from Tolkien's fantasy world.

5 / 17Hard rock band in focus: Söder poses as a musician from the band “Kiss” in 2011.

With a wig and made-up on his face, he looks very much like Paul Stanley.

His wife Karin - as always - at his side in a matching outfit.

6 / 17Punk year 2012: Söder poses with his wife Karin in a partner look at the “Fastnacht in Franconia”.

The words “Do you have a euro?” can be read on his T-shirt.

7 / 17A kiss from Marilyn, er Söder: In 2013, Markus Söder took on the role of the famous Marilyn Monroe.

The Nuremberg native even had artificial fingernails glued on for the costume for “Fastnacht in Franconia”.

8 / 17Horst Seehofer (then Prime Minister of Bavaria) is enthusiastic about Marilyn.

While she beams into the camera, he laughs at her, impressed.

9 / 17Green and with protruding ogre ears: Söder impressed at Carnival in 2014 as “Shrek - the daring hero”.

His wife Karin goes as the Princess of the DreamWorks film.

The Nuremberg couple was hardly recognizable at the time.

10 / 17A Franconian “Mahatma Gandhi”: In 2015, the then Finance Minister Söder appeared as the leader of the Indian independence movement on the BR show “Fastnacht in Franconia”.

11 / 17Politicians dressed as politicians: In 2016, Söder took on the role of Edmund Stoiber (former Prime Minister of Bavaria) at the ceremonial meeting in Veitshöchheim.

His wife Karin Baumüller disguises herself as Stoiber's wife.

12 / 17Yellow, yellow, Söder: Probably one of the highlights at “Fastnacht in Franconia” 2017. Markus Söder and his wife Karin as Homer and Marge Simpson.

13 / 17White eyes, huge brown mouth: Would you have recognized Markus Söder with this make-up?

14 / 17The Prince and his Princess: In 2018, Markus Söder (CSU), then Bavarian Finance Minister, dressed up as Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria for Carnival.

His wife portrays Princess Auguste. The couple was made up and dressed by the Nuremberg State Theater.

15 / 17After Markus Söder became Bavarian Prime Minister, he only appeared at the ceremonial meeting in a suit with a colorful bow tie.

His wife at least still wore a formal blazer in 2019.

16 / 172020 only in dotted bow tie: Markus Söder hardly appeared in disguise at the “Fastnacht in Franconia” shortly before the corona pandemic.

It has been the most successful program on Bavarian television for years and is considered the highlight of carnival in the Free State.

17 / 17After almost all carnival events were canceled due to the Corona lockdown in 2021, the “Fastnacht in Franconia” took place again in 2022.

This time Söder is completely in black, even without a colorful bow tie.
