Modern history
Following World War II, the carnival was revived by the Carnival Sociëteit De Tempeleers on 16 November 1945 in the Momustempel. The revived carnival featured traditional parades, parties and was opened with 11 shots of the Momus-Cannon
In 1958, Dr John Hoenen introduced musicians to the parade, and a tradition of pushing a pram filled with beer. In 1959, the parade was named "Zaate Herremenie" by the citizens of Maastricht. In the early 1960s the name was altered to "De Zaate Herremenie 1959".
