111 BMG-Geschichten

The Basler Mittwoch-Gesellschaft looks back on 111 years of Basler Fasnacht. The oldest men's society in Basel has witnessed, experienced, and processed much on the political stage in countless subjects. This form of contemporary history can today be read in the numerous Fasnachtszettel available in public archives. However, there are also other stories that cannot be found in the archives. These are the stories behind and among the people who have shaped this society over 111 years. They are episodes that have been passed down from generation to generation at the regulars' table. Funny, but also thought-provoking stories that captivate the listener, allowing them to peek behind the scenes and sometimes even see themselves reflected. To celebrate the 111th anniversary, five active members have come together as authors to present these stories in the form of 111 Bettmümpfel.
