Dispute over tradition: Why Meuselwitz's Christmas market without a city choir was opened!

Meuselwitz is the focus of an unexpected dispute around the Christmas market, which took place this year without the traditional opening by the city choir. Instead of the city choir, which was responsible for the ceremonial start since the Christmas market was founded in 1992, the church choir opened the event on St. Nicholas Day. This unexpected turn caused confusion and resentment among the citizens who wonder how the lvz reported.

The CEO of the city choir, Gerlinde Lorenz, expressed the disappointment of its members and explained that there was always a competition with the city choir in the Corona period. The conflict has worsened when the city administration provided contradictory information on the organization of the Christmas market. There was no official cancellation to the city choir. Instead, the members only learned through detours from the commissioning of the church choir, which reinforced the impression that they were pushed out of the program. This perspective is supported by the statements by Holger Markowski, a member of the church choir, which explains that the appointment of the concert was set long in advance, as in another report by the mdr .

political effects and discrepancies

These discrepancies now receive a political dimension, since the city council is planning to bring up the topic in the next cultural committee. The surprising developments related to the opening of the Christmas market reveal doubts about the communication skills between the city administration and the local sound bodies. While the Christmas market was actually opened on December 6th to 8th, the dispute over the tradition and loss of the city choir remains a controversial topic in the community.
