 Fastnacht (Shrovetide Carnival) is celebrated as it is in the surrounding villages, and no Shrovetide lunchtime table in Reichweiler would be complete without "Fastnachtskiechelcher", a pastry made of flour, vanilla sugar, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, salt and eggs.There are also dancing events held on various evenings during Shrovetide.Worth mentioning here is the old custom of the "Pfingstquack" on the second day of Whitsun (this is still practised, with variations, in some of the district's villages; see Henschtal for more).
