Dusseldorf: Instead of leather shoes, clumps; The prince and princess prepare for the tons race's competition
Tonnenrennen: Prince Andreas I Takes the Win in Exciting Barrel Race
The market square in Niederkassel was the stage for an exciting practice session of the Tonnenrennen on Friday, February 21st. The annual barrel race, traditionally held on Karnevalssontag (2nd March), attracted a number of high-profile challengers, including Prince Andreas I and his wife Venetia Evelyn.
Two carts with barrels were provided for the practice session, and both the royal couple and the Tonnenguard pair, Uwe and Anika, took part. Despite a minor mishap during the session, where a barrel fell off one of the carts during a turn, Venetia Evelyn managed to reach the finish line.
The Prince and Princess were well-prepared for the event, donning woolen socks and clogs for the practice session. Venetia, however, had an additional challenge to overcome - figuring out how to store her hoop skirt on the cart.
Prince Andreas I approached the Tonnenrennen with great determination, and his technique seemed to pay off, as he was declared the winner of the practice session. Some speculate that his victory may have been due to leniency from Tonnenguard Uwe, while others attribute it to his skillful maneuvering of the barrel-laden cart.
Uwe and Anika, this year's Tonnenguard couple, had an advantage due to their familiarity with the clogs and practical attire required for the race. However, the challengers for the barrel guard pair in this year's Tonnenrennen have not been identified or specified in the available information.
The live Tonnenrennen will take place in Niederkassel on March 2nd, promising another exciting event filled with tradition, competition, and a touch of royal flair.
