Christmas tree giants come: Hartha is preparing for Advent!

Christmas tree giants come: Hartha is preparing for Advent!

Hartha. On Thursday, the Christmas tree on the Obermarkt in Waldheim will be spectacularly flown in! The crane operator, possibly Enrico Thielemann or his former boss Thomas Keßler, will lead the impressive spectacle. These specialists from Nossen are asked for high season to bring the festive trees to the marketplaces. In Hartha the tree was already set up on Tuesday, while Leisnig was on the day before.

The two experienced construction machinists face a real challenge: the violent wind makes it difficult to put the tree precisely in the envelope intended for this. This sleeve is over a meter deep and ensures that the tree remains stable even when storm. Enrico Thielemann, who has been self -employed with his company with his company since 2010, communicates with his colleagues in the crane almost without words - only with a hand signal and look as if they were a well -coordinated team on a roller field.

Tree transport and challenges

The spectators pursue banned, like the 13 -meter -high Christmas tree, a magnificent coloradot fir, hangs on the crane. With a weight of 2.5 tons, it is a real eye -catcher! Thielemann has already harvested and set up many Christmas trees in his career, but the biggest challenge was to transport a tree from a slope in Leisnig. "The position here in Hartha is a child's play in comparison," he says.

Thielemann has already moved up to 40 tons of machines, but the Christmas tree is more of a lightweight for him. With four different cranes in his fleet, it is well equipped to raise a wide variety of loads. During the pre -Christmas season, he and his team are traveling around Nossen in the region and will set up a total of five Christmas trees in surrounding cities this November. The anticipation for the festive time increases, while the crane technology ensures that the Christmas mood is moving into the cities!
