partial closures due to safety concerns

In addition to the general security measures, parts of the Christmas market had to be closed due to a practical problem. As regionalhute.de , the closure was ordered due to an unsafe weather vane at the market church. The city of Goslar warned the visitors because there could be danger to life. The closures that initially started on Thursday evening are expected to continue until Sunday. The use of a crane to secure the weather vane was postponed to this day due to the wind conditions.

The city administration appealed to the market visitors to observe safety instructions and barriers. While the Christmas stands around the market church are closed, other parts of the market are still accessible. The responsible people emphasized that the security of the visitors was at the top and all the necessary steps would be taken to ensure a safe environment.
