European Christmas tree installations
Overview
Cities in Germany and France are preparing for their annual holiday displays. In Dortmund, construction has begun on a 45-meter-tall structure at Hansaplatz composed of approximately 1,200 spruce trees. This installation, which includes a dedicated sprinkler system and 138,000 LEDs, is expected to be completed by late November.
In Strasbourg, a 30-meter-tall, 90-year-old tree has been erected at Place Kléber. Harvested from the Vosges massif, the installation faced initial delays due to technical issues and local social movements, requiring specialized trimming and crane assistance to secure the trunk.
