Any Germans here, what's going on in this picture?

[singlecoil]

I was looking for interesting pictures of buildings, and came across this wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologne

and down near the bottom there's a thumbnail of a picture, and this is a crop from it


I assume some kind of formal/maybe informal ceremony is taking place, and I'm curious as to what it is. Anyone know

It's National Jew-herding day and it looks like they've caught one already!

It is a gathering of 'Bestattungsunternehmers'. They have found that one of their Kunde was actually 'lebendig' and they are attempting to collect her for Begräbnis.

[Japveesix]

It looks like the ruler Splendurshula is just emerging from the halls of Yanthrakar wearing her advanced humovian gown which is is connected to a floating life-drone which sustains her energy force.

She appears to have escaped from the Begräbnis ceremony and, yes, she will be buried alive.

It's quite common in Germany.

Thought so, the terrors.

The paper hearts are an expression of affection for her from her 'willidge' (or town) and will sustain her during the long hours underground.
