5000 meters of LED string lights will create a festive atmosphere from November 27th
Griesheim. The town of Griesheim began installing its popular Christmas lights at the beginning of the week. Employees of the municipal works department are distributing approximately 5,000 meters of energy-saving LED light strings on deciduous and coniferous trees throughout the town
Following a final technical check, the lighting is scheduled to be switched on for the first time on November 27th and will transform Griesheim into a sparkling sea of lights until January 6th, 2026. "The lights will illuminate the streets and towns from dusk until 10:30 p.m. and from 6:00 a.m. until dawn," explains Sebastian Schmidt from the municipal building yard.
Wilhelm-Leuschner-Straße will once again be a particularly impressive sight when the columnar hornbeams between the market square and Place Bar-le-Duc are illuminated in festive light. St. Stephans-Platz , the town hall , Haus Waldeck , the Hintergasse parking lot , Place Bar-le-Duc , Groß-Gerauer Straße , and the Nordring roundabout will also be decorated with strings of lights.
In addition, two large Christmas trees will be erected on Georg-Schüler-Platz and Jean-Bernard-Platz (“Am Kreuz”) and decorated with strings of lights. The latter will also become the focal point of the Griesheim Christmas market , which will take place from December 5th to 7th, 2025, between Jean-Bernard-Platz and the museum.
