Dortmund's Christmas tree: LED lights provide shit storm!

Dortmund's Christmas tree: LED lights provide shit storm!

Dortmund, Deutschland - The Christmas market in Dortmund once again ensures a storm of indignation! The same game every year: the city tries to bring a breath of fresh air to the festive tradition, but visitors are anything but enthusiastic. This year the Christmas tree is the focus of criticism - and for good reason!

The tree, which praises itself as the "largest Christmas tree in the world", is decorated by around 138,000 LED lights that have been placed over the branches like a network. Where once magnificent Christmas tree balls and festive candles shone, there are now only "LED waste", as many feel. The lighting was first switched on on Monday, November 25th, and the reactions on social media are devastating. "It is not a Christmas tree, but a luminous cone," scolds a user. Another complains: "Dortmund took something to me that I was most looking forward to this year."

Visitors are outraged by the new lighting

The negative comments do not tear off. "Shameful", "terrible" and "beautiful is different" are just a few of the harsh judgments that are pronounced over the tree. People are disappointed and feel abandoned by the city. "The thing has nothing to do with Christmas, nothing to do." Is another devastating comment. Even if some users try to smooth the waves, the tenor remains clear: the new lighting is a disaster!

While some argue that it ultimately doesn't matter what the tree looks like, since most visitors linger at the mulled wine anyway, the question remains: Will Dortmund take the criticism seriously and rethink for the next year? The time will show it, but the anger of the visitors is unmistakable!
