Geretsried – In its last meeting before the summer break, the city council followed a recommendation from the main and finance committee, which had already presented and approved the changes to the market statutes at the beginning of July, without a debate.

"The traditions should be expanded a bit," explained City Hall employee Stephanie Dickel.

Accordingly, the Green Market can now take place on Karl-Lederer-Platz on Tuesdays as well as on Thursdays.

The Christmas market begins there on the second weekend in Advent and will last three instead of two days.

It may open no earlier than 4 p.m. on Friday and must close no later than 8 p.m.

On Saturday, the opening times are from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m., on Sundays the recommended duration is from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m.

Alternative locations are Neuer Platz and on Jahnstraße

The Neuer Platz and the Festplatz on Jahnstraße are possible alternative locations.

The spring market is scheduled for the second weekend in June, but can be moved forward or backward a week if it falls on a public holiday.

As before, the autumn market is scheduled for the second weekend in October. Peter Herrmann
