Christmas singing in Schönebeck was a great event. The town hall forecourt was full; for many Schönebeck residents it was simply the anticipation of Christmas. The third joint Christmas singing under the illuminated Christmas tree was well received in the market. Under his musical direction, district cantor Carsten Miseler and his trombone choir created an absolute Christmas atmosphere. Maik “Scholle” Scholkowsky took over the moderation. He himself had a funny modern Christmas story with him which he recited. Mayor Bert Knoblauch and Axel Hausschild also had to read the Christmas story on stage in a duet. Many well-known Christmas carols were sung together, for example “Morgen Kinder wir's wasgeben”, “O Tannenbaum” and “Sind die Lichter angezündet”. The cathedral canon Dr. Thomas Thorak gave the Christmas blessing from the stage and wished everyone a merry Christmas. The municipal utilities handed out candles, and at the third Christmas singing in Schönebeck a sea of flames from candlelight lit up the market. Addendum: At the same time, a terrorist attack was carried out on the Magdeburg Christmas market, leaving many dead!
