Christmas tree made of fruit dough illuminates Innsbruck: tradition and community

in Innsbruck, a Christmas tree made of fruit dough shines at Christmas time, which not only creates a festive mood, but also has a deeper meaning. The tree, which has grown on the property of Karl Knoflach, was ceremoniously presented this week by the mayor of Obsteig, Erich Mirth. The wonderful lights will shine as a symbol of peace and cohesion until the end of the Christmas season.

Governor Anton Mattle emphasized the importance of this tradition during the ceremony. He explained: "The Christmas tree on Landhausplatz stands for the beginning of the contemplative time and reminds us of central values such as cohesion and peace." In fact, the journey of the tree, which took place with a lot of support from different helpers, underlined the sense of community between the communities. Mattle thanked Karl Knoflach for the provision of the tree and wished all passers -by a contemplative Advent season.

entertaining accompaniment by local groups

The festive presentation was framed by musical performances and dance performances by the Obsteig music band and the costume association Obsteig. A children's choir from the Obsteig elementary school also contributed to the Christmas atmosphere. Landtag President Sonja Ledl-Rossmann wished the visitors that they can find a moment of calm during this hectic pre-Christmas period and enjoy sparkling the lights. "Buy Christmas presents and complete tasks before the holidays often lets the stress dominate," she said.

Mayor Erich Mirth could not be more proud to celebrate the tree: "This Christmas tree sets an exclamation mark for our community and contributes to the contemplative time in Innsbruck." The tree becomes the center of the festive celebrations on Landhausplatz and invites everyone to pause and enjoy the magic of the Christmas season.
