Christmas magic in Horb: Hundreds sing under the Christmas tree!

on Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024, hundreds of people gathered in Horb to take part in the event "Playing under the Christmas tree". Organized by a delegation of the Musikverein Horb and Bildechingen, the event took place both in the village square of Fildechingen and in other places in Horb. Ulrich Münnich was the musical direction, who has had the helm in his hand since March 2023.

The program included a traditional Christmas carol singing, in which popular songs such as "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas", "Every year", "O du happy" and "Silent Night, Holy Night" were made. In the mills in particular, an estimated number of listeners of 250 to 300 was recorded.

The musical tour also included other stations in the region, including the Isenburg, the old people's homes "Ita von Toggenburg" and "Bishop Sproll" and the Bruderhaus Diakonie. The first stage ended in the “Steiglhof” inn, where about 80 visitors enjoyed the festive atmosphere. Offers such as mulled wine, children's punch and snacks, whose proceeds from the youth band benefited, took care of the physical well -being of those present.

A special highlight was singing together in the fire station of Fildechingen, which attracted numerous participants. Despite the cool temperatures and windy weather, the mood remained happy, including thanks to the presence of St. Nikolaus and Knecht Ruprecht, the parcels to the children. A comparable musical village tour took place in 2022 when the men's choir "Cäcilia" Horbach had to cancel its Christmas concert, but instead initiated a village tour that met with great resonance, like Blick Aktuell reported.
