Saxony: Moravian stars at more than 25 Christmas markets

Herrnhut (dpa/sn) - After two years of corona-related restrictions, Herrnhuter Sterne GmbH are hoping for good business in the Advent season. Now there could be a full start on Christmas markets again, said sales manager Jens Ruppert. The manufactory from the district of Görlitz is represented with its own sales stands at more than 25 locations in Germany and in Vienna. However, this number is below the level of 2019, when the company was still present in around 45 markets.

In order to guarantee authentic advice, as many stands as possible will be manned by staff from the company. "People who otherwise work in production know the star and its structure," Ruppert explained the effort. The stars with eight triangular and 17 square points have been manufactured in Herrnhut since 1897. The Evangelical Brethren Union, which is spread all over the world today, has its origins in the town that was founded 300 years ago. She is also a 100 percent shareholder in the star factory, which currently employs 194 men and women.
