A deeply religious male individual

In the vibrant city of Düsseldorf, Oliver Wilmering, a well-known figure, has been recognised for his contributions to the local community. The young talent was honoured with the prestigious Karl Klinzing Prize, a notable accolade in the city.

Wilmering, who represents the interests of Düsseldorf's showmen towards the administration, has been instrumental in preserving and promoting the city's Carnival spirit. His efforts have been particularly evident in the organisation of the Kö-parade, a special day where all 'jecken' can participate without the need for club affiliation. The Kö-parade is considered the soul of Carnival in Düsseldorf.

The award ceremony for the Karl Klinzing plaque is scheduled for November 3rd at the Theatre an der Kö. Wilmering was presented with the plaque by the Mostertpöttches, a prestigious organisation in Düsseldorf, for reasons not specified in the text.

Wilmering's professional journey is marked by constant reinvention. Baas Hildegard Dahmen of the Mostertpöttches commends his ability to adapt and innovate. Alongside his partner, Yvonne Winter, Wilmering has set new accents with 'Zum Olli', a unique combination of champagne bar and currywurst. 'Zum Olli' can be found on Düsseldorf's fish market and has a stall at the Kö-Bogen.

Apart from his involvement in the Carnival and his culinary ventures, Wilmering is also passionate about promoting children and youth sports. He has a partnership at Fortuna, where he sells skewered bread, hot dogs, and crêpes. This partnership, he says, combines his passion with enjoyment.

In a remarkable display of dedication, Wilmering worked with a colleague from the showmen's association to save the Kö-parade during Carnival Sunday 2024, ensuring the tradition lived on. As the association's chief, Wilmering also cultivates contacts with the city's large and small clubs, further cementing his role as a key figure in Düsseldorf's Carnival scene.
