Music pristine! Why the Trier Christmas market experiences silent times

Trier, Deutschland - The Trier Christmas market, which has opened its goals for the first time as a popular attraction since 1978, has experienced a striking change this year. On the occasion of this contemplative time, which officially lasts from November 26th to December 22nd, the music program particularly declined. This year there are only two larger live appearances in the market that extends over the main market and the cathedral free yard and is known for its 95 lovingly decorated wooden stalls. According to Thomas Vatheuter, press spokesman for the Christmas market, only the Trier dialect band Leicenecker Bloas appeared for the opening and the "Singing Santa Claus" on December 5. In previous years, on the other hand, there were still nine appearances, but this year there is a clear re-development-a trend that is strongly associated with increased GEMA fees, such as Volksfreund reported.

The Christmas market is an atmospheric event that attracts many people. He festively sits enthroned on the main market and has secured a place in the heart of the visitors. After the renovation of the cathedral unit in 1999, it was also integrated into the market area. In addition to the Christmas crib, which represents the biblical story about Maria, Josef and the Christ Child, visitors can also marvel at a Christmas bakery with angel -like doll figures that create different types of Christmas cookies and play festive music in the background. Despite the reduced music offer, the market will continue to be mentioned annually in rankings of the "most beautiful Christmas markets in Germany", and in 2024 even 11th place in a Europe -wide ranking, such as wikipedia documented.

The traditional event is organized by the Schaustläger family Oscar Bruch Ohg in cooperation with the ARGE Trier Christmas market. In the past, claims that the selection of market stalls and participants are not optimally designed have caused discussions. In addition, there were efforts to expand the market to surrounding roads, but these attempts failed. Nevertheless, the Trier Christmas market remains an integral part of the pre -Christmas activities in the city, even if the background music no longer takes up the same importance as in other years.
