Overview

• The Christmas tree, named 'Florian', was selected by Frankfurt's professional firefighters and is named after their patron saint.
• Standing at 26 meters, the tree is a meter taller than the Christmas tree in New York City.
• Originating from the Spessart region, the 65-year-old tree was carefully chosen by a special commission.
• The tree's installation on Römerberg is expected to take about three hours, involving the city's fire department personnel.
• Previous years' trees have sparked debate over their appearance, but officials believe 'Florian' will be well-received once decorated.
