Sturm strikes: dealer stands at the onion market badly damaged!

Weimar, Deutschland - The 371. Onion market in Weimar was a complete success in which the organizers were pleased to take a positive balance. A total of around 250,000 visitors flocked to the popular folk festival, which represents a significant increase compared to previous years. Saturday in particular was a surge when the city was overrun and there were hardly any free parking spaces. The dealers spoke of customers who are enthusiastic about buying and were very satisfied with the sales.

not everything went smoothly. On Sunday morning, a storm caused damage to five retailers, which led to two stands to hire their operation. However, these incidents were the only significant disorders of the festival, which did not significantly cloud the positive overall experience. Fortunately, the organizers were also able to calm down in terms of the security situation: the fire brigade and the paramedics reported about 70 treatments, which were mainly due to wasp stings and minor injuries. In view of the large number of visitors, this should be assessed as low.
