Cities Pay Thousands of Euros for Christmas Trees - German Cities Light Up With Unique Christmas Tree Traditions This Year
In the festive spirit, cities across Germany are preparing for Christmas by decorating their towns with christmas trees. This year, Kaiserslautern has set up around 150 smaller christmas trees and one large central christmas tree, relying on donations from residents. Meanwhile, Worms is putting up two large christmas trees, one in each of its 13 districts, and an additional 50 smaller christmas trees in the city centre, costing approximately €8,800. In Mainz, the city spends between €7,500 and €10,000 annually on its central christmas tree, including setup and dismantling.
Kaiserslautern's tradition involves residents donating christmas trees for the smaller decorations, with the city setting up around 150 of these along with one large central christmas tree. This approach not only adds to the festive atmosphere but also encourages community involvement.
Worms, on the other hand, ensures that each of its 13 districts has a large christmas tree, providing a sense of unity and celebration throughout the city. Additionally, around 50 smaller christmas trees are placed in the city centre, with the total cost this year estimated at €8,800.
In Mainz, the focus is on the central christmas tree, with the city allocating funds between €7,500 and €10,000 annually for its installation and removal. This ensures that the christmas tree is a prominent and well-maintained feature of the city's christmas decorations.
As the festive season approaches, these cities are investing in their christmas tree displays, with each having its unique approach. From donations in Kaiserslautern to district-wide decorations in Worms, and a focus on the central christmas tree in Mainz, these cities are preparing to spread joy and festivity among their residents.
