Needed: Trees for Christmas markets in Dresden and Pirna - Christmas trees headed to marketplaces in Dresden and Pirna
In the heart of the holiday season, donating a Christmas tree to adorn one of Germany's most renowned festive markets can be a heart-warming contribution to the festive atmosphere. Here's a guide on how to donate a Christmas tree to the Striezelmarkt, Augustusmarkt, or Canalettomarket in Dresden and Pirna.
Firstly, it's essential to contact the organizers of these markets directly. They can provide specific instructions on how to donate a tree and whether such donations are accepted. You can reach out to the organizers of the Augustus and Canaletto markets at [email protected]. For the Striezelmarkt, you can send your suggestions to [email protected].
Municipal or local government websites might also have information on how private individuals can contribute to public Christmas displays.
Local nurseries or tree farms might be involved in providing trees for these markets. Partnering with them could be a good way to facilitate the donation.
Sometimes, community groups or local charities might organize tree donations. These groups could act as intermediaries between you and the market organizers.
When it comes to the specific requirements for the Christmas trees, the Striezelmarket in Dresden is searching for a "Striezel tree," a spruce or fir tree at least 23 meters tall, straight, and with a dense canopy. The Augustus market is seeking a spruce or blue spruce with a height of 8 to 10 meters, while the Canaletto market is looking for a spruce or blue spruce between 12 to 14 meters tall. The specific radius for tree selection for the markets in Pirna and the Augustus and Canaletto markets was not specified in the article.
It's important to note that the costs for transporting the donated trees will be covered. Potential tree donors should reside no further than 20 kilometers from Dresden for the Augustus market and no further than 15 kilometers from Pirna for the Canaletto market. The tree for the Striezelmarkt in Dresden should be located within a maximum radius of about 50 kilometers around the state capital.
Last Christmas season, a Nordmann fir approximately 25 meters tall was used to adorn Germany's oldest Christmas market, the Striezelmarkt in Dresden. The Christmas market season is scheduled to start in approximately three months.
By following these steps, you can ensure your Christmas tree contribution is accepted and appreciated, bringing joy to thousands during the holiday season.
