Dresden's Christmas tree: 100 -year -old fir trim adorns the Striezelmarkt!

Altmarkt, 01067 Dresden, Deutschland - Dresden - A monumental Christmas tree, which stood in Freital for over a century, has now found its way to the Altmarkt! The tree fellists became active on Saturday, and with a powerful cut, the majestic Nordmann fir, which is a proud 25 meter high. A crane picked up the tree, and the preparations for the 590th Striezelmarkt are in full swing!

The estimated 100 -year -old tree was not only an impressive natural monument, but also had to give way because construction work is planned at its location. The city of Dresden informed that the days of the tree were counted. The head of the Office for Economic Development, Steffen Rietzschel, emphasized how important the selection of a particularly beautiful Christmas tree for the city is every year. The decision was made on the Freital Nordmann fir, which is simply ideal for the festive time with her beautiful growth!

transport and installation of the Christmas tree

The transport of the tree went without any problems. The stately tree was brought to the Saxon capital with a low loader, where numerous onlookers followed the spectacular sight. In the coming days, the fir will be lovingly decorated to transform the Altmarkt into a Christmas wonderland. The Striezelmarkt opens its gates on November 27th and remains open until Christmas Eve - a highlight for Dresden and tourists alike!
