Magdeburg really dresses up at Christmas time. Millions of LEDs light up and transform the city center into a radiant city story. The illumination with Otto von Guericke's hemisphere experiment and 8 life-sized glittering horses on the cathedral square is the most famous performance. At the Christmas market in front of the historic town hall, the mood is exuberant among young and old. The author was also fascinated by the Christmas-decorated buildings in the Art Nouveau district, as well as the strings of lights on the old and new high-rise buildings in the city center.
