Die Fidelen Sandhasen e.V. are a dance group from Cologne.[1] They are active in performance carnival and dance competitions and have won German championship titles multiple times.

History

In 1995, the Carneval Society Fidele Sandhasen Oberlar von 1953 e. V (Oberlar is a district of Troisdorf) founded its own dance group, the TC Fidele Sandhasen. In 2010, the dance group established an independent association, Die Fidele Sandhasen e.V. The association has around 400 members (as of 2025) and is now based in Cologne.[2]Since 2016, the dance group has been cooperating with the oldest Cologne carnival society Die Grosse von 1823.[3] Through this cooperation and since the club’s headquarters were moved to Cologne, the dance group Fidele Sandhasen has become a “Cologne dance group.” The CS „Fidele Sandhasen“ Oberlar 1953 e.V. continues to exist in Troisdorf.
