Cottbuser Christmas market: Security first after Magdeburg attack!

After the shocking attack on the Christmas market in Magdeburg, the Christmas market in Cottbus/Chóśebuz remains open, but with an increased security concept. This was decided in the morning by the city administration, the police and the organizers. In view of the increased security situation, today's day is used to check the security measures and adapt if necessary. Mayor Tobias Schick breaks thoughts: "After this terrible act, our thoughts are among the relatives of the victims, the injured and the many emergency services in Magdeburg." In the sign of solidarity, visitors are called to take a minute's silence for the victims at 7:00 p.m. Additional mobile blocks should ensure maximum security, even if there are no indications of similar incidents in Cottbus, such as cottbus.de reports.
