- Two specialists set up the tree by crane over two days at Hoeneß’s hillside property above Bad Wiessee.
- The illumination runs automatically from dusk to about 7 a.m., with a manual override available.
- The ritual began in 2017, skipped during the energy crisis to locals’ regret, and is slated to shine at least until January 6 with a possible extension to early February.
- Reporting also notes a broadly upbeat mood at FC Bayern under Vincent Kompany ahead of the home match against SC Freiburg.
