Munich's new Christmas tree: A radiant highlight for Advent!

A radiant Highlight for Munich! There has been an impressive 22 meter high Christmas tree on Marienplatz since yesterday, which adorns the upcoming Christkindlmarkt. With a weight of 5.5 tons and its lush green splendor, this tree is one of the most beautiful specimens in the history of the Munich Christmas trees. The transport from Antdorf in the Weilheim-Schongau district went smoothly, as the professional fire brigade reported. "The tree was well bound and did not do any damage during transport," said spokesman Christian Seifert.

The memories of past tree transports are not always positive. Just think of the notorious "hunger spruce" from 2011, which was considered torn, or the spruce from 2015, which had suffered greatly during transport. However, this year, however, the new tree, which the third from the Weilheim district will be in five years, can compete with the 2013 supermodel. "This tree is a dream!" The Munich enthused at the time. And the current fir also has the potential to conquer the hearts of the city dwellers.

mood survey: How do you like the tree?

The opinions of the Munich are diverse. Edda Hebding-Loher, 79, is enthusiastic: "The tree simply belongs to Munich! This year it is particularly beautiful: straight, tight, green and he doesn't need it." For Edelweißprinz, 29, as a musician, the tree brings mixed feelings: "It lifts the mood, but for me it means that I will soon not be able to play in the city so often." Christina Heuberger, 38, sees the tree through the eyes of her children: "For them the Christmas tree is great. We take a family walk through the Christmas market every year, and the Munich Christmas tree is one of them."

The tree will be illuminated daily from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. from November 25th to January 6th and promises to increase the anticipation for the Christmas season in Munich!
