The Schlaraffen, members of a men's organization (many of a mellower age and in secure positions), meet in midwinter (October 1 – April 30) once per week in their Schlaraffen castle (equipped in the style of a knight's tavern from the Middle Ages) for "Sippungen" (gatherings which take place in the fixed ceremonial form of a knight's play). In doing so, everyday life is satirized as well as kept alive through recitations of literary and musical forms. An antiquated language with its own vernacular for everyday things (Schlaraffen Latin — for example; "powder pot" for tobacco pipe, "gasoline horse" for car, "castle monster" for mother-in-law) gives the Sippungen their own humorous note. The approximately "reychs" (local clubs) stay in close contact with one another. Each Schlaraffe is always welcome in every reych in the world. Schlaraffia® ia a 165 year old international organization with over 8,400 members in over 250 chapters in 17 countries world-wide. Chapters currently exist in Europe, north, central and south America, Asia, South Africa and Australia. New members must be introduced by a Schlaraffe (godfather), complete a probationary period before a general vote is recorded, and start their career as knave, which leads from the position of squire to knight.
Their 'mascot' is the eagle owl (bubo bubo) symbolizing wisdom, virtue and humor (the owl itself presents knowledge and wisdom) and they bear some resemblance to Freemasons.
