I have been more than 9 years here and I do not know as much as you do about carnival or Fasching. I still have trouble knowing which day to catch what event, but that's what neighbors are for. Here in Freiburg or generally south Allemanisch area, for the Fat Thursday, people dress in their white nightgown and walk around town. I have not find out why but just send my kids to the daycare with my old white shirts 😅 and here they shout "Narri, Narro!"
I didn't know anything about Carnival until researching this article. I think it's one of those things that either you're into or not. I didn't know about the tradition with white nightgowns but there are so many different customs that are observed around Carnival!
