The time for Christmas markets will soon come: for mulled wine, carousel rides, roasted almonds and grilled sausages.
November 28th is the first Advent.
What about Christmas markets this year?
Is there hope?
Potsdam - The Advent season and Christmas are getting closer, and with them the traditional Christmas markets. Brandenburg municipalities have not completely said goodbye to the Christmas market this year, despite the corona numbers rising again. A survey by the German Press Agency revealed that the administrations usually continue to plan and hope that these popular events will take place again this year.
In the state capital Potsdam, the inner-city Christmas market "Blauer Lichterglanz" should take place after a year of Corona break, according to a city spokesman.
The event has always been a popular tourist magnet, drawing visitors to the city.
In 2020 it had to be canceled due to Corona.
According to the information, the Bohemian Christmas market on Weberplatz in Babelsberg is already planned.
But there is hope that more will be added in the city, it said.
According to the information, the applicable hygiene rules apply to the operator, which are then based on the current handling ordinance of the state.

The vaccination rate has reached a level in which stadiums, clubs or exhibition halls can be operated again with restrictions, said IHK President Peter Heydenbluth. You should therefore turn to the decision-makers in districts, cities and municipalities and want to encourage them to gradually return to normality over the autumn and winter with suitable concepts. In addition to 2G (vaccinated or recovered) and 3G models (vaccinated, recovered or tested), this also included unbureaucratic usage options for public spaces without special usage fees and, of course, extended opening times and days, including on Sundays and public holidays. dpa
