Overview

• 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.
