Leipzig (dpa/sn) - To celebrate his 60th birthday, the famous child figure Pittiplatsch will be the motif of the children's cup at the Leipzig Christmas market. 25,000 of the new children's cups were produced, 15,000 of which are used in Leipzig - the rest is available in the online shops of the license partners, as the city's market office announced on Monday.
This year, the official Christmas market cup comes in the retro design of an enamel cup, but is made of fir-green ceramic and shows a new Christmas motif of the market. In the inner motif, in cooperation with the Bach archive, reference is made to Bach's 300th anniversary as Thomaskantor, which is to be celebrated in 2023.
Only non-alcoholic drinks may be served with the children's cup. The deposit is four euros for the Christmas market cup and five euros for the children's cup.
