The sale of Fererwerk articles was prohibited nationwide and due to the existing COVID-19 contact restrictions, the usual larger and larger New Year&rsquo;s Eve parties were not permitted. No matter whether larger privately organized New Year&rsquo;s Eve parties or the otherwise very popular New Year&rsquo;s Eve celebrations of restaurants, bars and other organizers could not take place due to the Corona contact restrictions.<\/p>\n<p>Although it was not possible to buy New Year&rsquo;s Eve items this year, the fireworks themselves were permitted on New Year&rsquo;s Eve. However, in most cities there were no-go zones where the lighting of fireworks was not allowed. These were usually centrally located and popular places in places such as the station forecourt in Kiel. In the Kiel city area, rockets, batteries and firecrackers were ignited here and there around midnight. However, it was significantly less than in previous years.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_4276\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4276\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-4276 size-fusion-800\" src=\"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-800x600.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"New Year's mini fireworks fountain\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27600%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%20800%20600%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%27800%27%20height%3D%27600%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-200x150.jpg 200w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/silvester-fontaene-mini-feuerwerk.jpg 1200w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-4276\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">New Year&rsquo;s mini fireworks fountain<\/p><\/div>\n<p>This year I had also decided not to watch the New Year&rsquo;s Eve fireworks on Holtenauer Stra&szlig;e at midnight. There was certainly a lot less going on there on New Year&rsquo;s Eve 2020\/2021 than in previous years, for example here in retrospect of <a title=\"Welcome to the new decade - New Year's Eve fireworks in Kiel 2019\/2020\" href=\"https:\/\/welovekiel.com\/de\/willkommen-im-neuen-jahrzehnt-silvesterfeuerwerk-in-kiel-2019-2020-2119\/\">New Year&rsquo;s Eve 2019\/2020 on Holtenauer Stra&szlig;e<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Due to Corona, there were no big games like the New Year&rsquo;s Eve celebrations in Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate this year either. Thailand, on the other hand, was one of the few exceptions. Because Bangkok, Thailand&rsquo;s capital, <a title=\"New Year Fireworks in Bangkok 2020\/2021\" href=\"https:\/\/thailand-auswanderer.blogspot.com\/2021\/01\/silvester-fereuwerk-bangkok-2020.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">welcomed the new year 2021 with a large and spectacular fireworks display<\/a>.
