Königs Wusterhausen: Despite challenges, the 2025 fire brigade light trip is facing a decision as the city is looking for solutions.
Light trip in Königs Wusterhausen: Hope for a Christmas miracle!
The year 2025 brings with it another exciting challenge in Königs Wusterhausen: The fire brigade's light ride is in the starting blocks, but whether it can actually take place is still uncertain. Loud moz.de The event has not yet been canceled, but a letter from the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior is causing confusion. Decorated fire engines could lose their operating license, which would represent a dramatic turnaround for the drivers - nothing works without insurance cover.
The city has so far tried to find a solution. Spokeswoman Katrin Kunipatz emphasized that Königs Wusterhausen would like to support the light journey. After the Ministry of Transport made it clear that no ban was imposed on the lights-on journey, the question now remains as to whether the events continue to comply with the road traffic regulations and the right to assembly. This will be carefully examined by the relevant authorities.
Great tradition
The light journey has built up an important tradition in the region in recent years. With 38 festively illuminated vehicles from Wernsdorf, which started at 4 p.m. last year and reached Schlossstrasse around 7:30 p.m., the event attracts numerous visitors. Christian Oede from the Zernsdorf fire department emphasized the great fun that the Christmas-decorated vehicles bring and that neighbors traditionally meet over mulled wine.
Last year, the citizens experienced a wonderfully contemplative atmosphere, supported by Christmas markets on the church square and the Schlossmühle courtyard, which made the city center shine. A visit to the Dahmeland Museum, where children like nine-year-old Elli showed great skill in weaving cane, rounded off the experience.
Support is growing
Another sign of the great connection to the light journey is the ongoing petition, which has already collected 1,346 signatures. Citizens seem to have a great interest in saving the lights and bringing the festive splendor to their city, even if the uncertainty dampens the anticipation somewhat.
The city administration is in close contact with the ministries and is working on a solution. The possibilities of other places that conducted light trips with different vehicles could offer suggestions. While the general conditions are still being checked, the hope remains that the light journey can go off smoothly this year too.
During this festive time, celebrating together and contemplating is particularly important. Königs Wusterhausen hopes that clarity will soon prevail and that the over 500-year-old tradition of light trips will remain alive in 2025.
