Directly from the dpa news channel
Berlin (dpa) – In front of the Federal Chancellery in Berlin there is a fir tree from Thuringia this year. The approximately 15-meter-tall Colorado fir was delivered on a low-loader on Saturday, as Larissa Schulz-Trieglaff from the Working Group of German Forest Owners Associations of the German Press Agency said. Then the tree was set up in the courtyard of the Chancellery with the help of a crane.
On Wednesday (November 24th), representatives of the association want to hand over the tree donated by the Forest Owners Association for Thuringia to the Executive Chancellor Angela Merkel, together with an oak chess piece.
The Association of German Forest Owners hands over a Christmas tree to the Federal Chancellery every year, whichever country it is from. In 2020 a tree from Hessen adorned the square. Regardless of this, Thuringia has always been supplying the Christmas tree for the Brandenburg Gate since 2015.
