Wunsiedel in the Christmas rush: The story of O du happy!

Wunsiedel, Deutschland - In Wunsiedel there are two exciting news that the city puts in the spotlight. First of all, a camera team from Bavarian television was on site in the production of a new episode of the "Adrian Gschichtla" series to explore the fascinating story of the Christmas song "O du Fröhliche". Moderated by Adrian Roßner, the episode will be broadcast on December 13th at 4.15 p.m. The discovery is particularly exciting that the second and third stanza of the song comes from the Wunsiedler Heinrich Holzschuher. The song, originally not designed as a Christmas carol, owes its festivity to a Wunsiedler. Church music director Reinhold Schelter supported the team in the musical search for traces in the St. Veit Church and also thanked the children's and youth choir for their commitment, such as reported.

At the same time, Dr. Peter Seißer, honorary citizen of the city and expert in local history, prepared the years 1933 to 1956 in volume IV of the Wunsiedler city history.

Mayor Nicolas Lahovnik praised the meticulous and entertaining review of this difficult time, which deals with important topics, including synchronization, economic development and events of the Reichspogromnacht. Seißer's intensive research effort, including personal conversations with contemporary witnesses, has contributed to the development of this exciting chronicle. The book is available for 38 euros in the Kohler bookstore and the tourist information, as Wiesentbote
