The Christmas trees for the Darmstadt Christmas market, which decorate the market square and Luisenplatz every year, traditionally come from the region. This year, both trees are from Wald-Michelbach/Kocherbach and can no longer remain in their current locations.

The tree for the market square is pushing up the tarmac surface of the passing road with its roots, while the tree for Luisenplatz in a private front garden has now become too large and is already damaging the foundations of the garden wall with its roots. However, a new planting is already planned here.

Market square: approx. 20 m tall silver fir (weight approx. 3.6 tonnes)

Lighting:

Since this year, the tree on the market square has had new lighting consisting of 13,500 LEDs. The lights are animated every hour from 6 pm.
