Christmas tree on the market square
The Christmas tree for the Darmstadt Christmas Market, which adorns the market square every year, traditionally comes from the local area.
Market square: Nordmann fir from Reichlsheim
Unfortunately, the tree has grown too large for its current location and can no longer remain there.
Trees up to around 20 metres high are suitable for the market square and are always placed before the huts are erected after the pyramid has been set up.
The selection and installation of the Christmas trees has been a well-coordinated team effort for years. For around 20 years, the trees have been supplied by the family forestry business Marco and Norbert Emig (www.emig-agrar.de) from Wald-Michelbach/Kocherbach and then erected together with the help of the Darmstadt fire brigade.
Since 2023, the tree on the market square has had new lighting consisting of 13,500 LEDs. The lights will be animated in different colours every hour from 6 pm.
