!!!Maschkerer

Maschkerer, derived from the word "mask"; refers to masked persons 
(moving about alone or in groups). These maskers do not fall into one 
of the specifically Austrian categories of masks (as for example the  
Perchten). Maschkerer traditionally appear on the occasion of special 
customs practised in winter (particularly during the  Fasching 
season), after the completion of some farming tasks (e.g. threshing) 
and during weddings. ( Wedding Customs).
