Halle (dpa/sa) - Despite the high prices, the plans for the Christmas markets in Halle and Magdeburg have so far not provided any concrete ideas for saving energy. "We have already done our homework on the Magdeburg Christmas market in recent years and have saved a lot of electricity," said Paul-Gerhard Stieger, Managing Director of the Christmas market in Magdeburg. However, we are trying to improve further in this regard. However, they want to stick to the tradition of a Christmas market and the world of lights in Magdeburg.
In Halle, the city reserves the right to take further measures. "This also does not exclude the Christmas market. The city will provide information on this in good time," said a spokesman for the city administration.
Some cities in Germany had already announced measures to save energy at their Christmas markets. The city of Offenburg in Baden-Württemberg, for example, does not use the ice rink at its Christmas market to save energy.
