But the shine of the Christmas market accepted a bitter aftertaste after the celebrations. Like news38.de on Facebook, several visitors complained about the garbage situation around the marketplace. After night celebrations, a picture of horror often remained in the morning: overflowing trash cans and waste, which gathered in the area of the Hotel Kaiserworth and the surrounding area not only in the garbage buckets, but also on the streets. A user asked concerned: "What should the Christmas market tourists think?"

The Goslar Marketing Society emphasized that there is an emptying of public trash cans every day and that the stand operators should also constantly ensure cleanliness. The city has a lot because of making the festivity as undisturbed as possible, but this also makes the sense of the responsibility of the visitors necessary. In order to preserve the magic of the Christmas market, those responsible appeal to everyone to properly dispose of their garbage. Only then can everyone enjoy the contemplative atmosphere for a long time.
