• A symbolic handover ceremony occurred at Neustadt’s Christmas market, with the event's 'staffelstab' passed to Neustadt's Mayor Marc Weigel by representatives from Bad Ems.
• Ministerpräsident Alexander Schweitzer emphasized the importance of Neustadt’s historical and cultural significance, describing it as an ideal location for the event.
• The ceremony was overshadowed by recent tragic events at the Magdeburg Christmas market, prompting a moment of silence and renewed calls to uphold traditions in defiance of terror.
