In the last weeks we visited some northern German Christmas Markets.
So here some thoughts about the currant protecton of this markets:
In the last years nearly all german Christmas markets have been protectet with concrete barriers, a lot police etc.
I had expected the same thing this year, as the media and politicians cited a high level of danger.
It's a sad irony that at the last few markets I only saw structural safety measures that were more of an absolute farce.
Similarly, many current security measures were already described as ‘fraudulent deception’

Lübeck: Concrete barriers to the left and right of the entrances - space in the centre for medium to large vehicles.
Lüneburg Townhall Cristmas Market: Concrete barriers to the left and right of the entrances - space in the centre for medium to large vehicles.
Celle: A very nice Christmas market we visited yesterday. The security measures there already shocked me in the afternoon on site in Celle:
Only some Barges with No Passing signs!
When I read the first news about the tragedy in Magdeburg on our return, my thoughts turned to the extremely rude language used by those responsible in the cities.
I have to stop now because I'm getting incredibly angry again!
