Berlin Prepares for Christmas with Iconic Trees from Brandenburg and Thuringia

The Chancellor's Christmas tree will come from Fürstenwalde, while the Brandenburger Tor's tree arrives from Thuringia for the tenth consecutive year.

The Chancellor's Christmas tree, a 40-year-old spruce from Fürstenwalde in Brandenburg, will be officially presented to Olaf Scholz on November 27.
The tree, sourced for regionality and sustainability, is a tradition continued by the Waldeigentümerverband of Brandenburg.
The Brandenburger Tor's Christmas tree, a 70-year-old, 20-meter-tall spruce from Greiz in Thuringia, has been donated to Berlin's Pariser Platz for the tenth year in a row.
The Thuringian tree will be decorated with 15,000 energy-saving lights and hundreds of ornaments to illuminate the area for about a month.
Both trees highlight regional forestry traditions and serve as festive symbols for Berlin during the holiday season.
