A Digital Museum of Basler Laternen

28 February 2026

The Basler Fasnacht is over again. It is interesting for historians, however, to gain insight into the (international) politics and (regional and national) themes of the moment 100 years later.

The lanterns and subjects (and the Schnitzelbängg) give an impression of what occupies people; they mirror the spirit of the times and society.
