The Kiel Christmas market 2020 has now also been canceled due to Corona. The continuously increasing number of new infections and the legal framework do not allow a Christmas market in Kiel this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Compared to many other cities and regions, there are currently significantly fewer COVID-19 patients and new infections. Nevertheless, Kiel is also following the current trend regarding the cancellation of the upcoming Christmas markets in the run-up to Christmas. As a result, there will be no Christmas markets in Kiel on Rathausplatz (Kiel Christmas Village<\/a>), Asmus-Bremer-Platz<\/a>, Holstenplatz, Alter Markt and Bernhardt-Minetti-Platz on Holtenauer Straße.<\/p>\n

Exactly what many had expected back in September has now happened. Because in mid-September<\/a><\/strong>, Kiel’s Lord Mayor Ulf Kampfer had announced that the Kiel Christmas Market would take place in the above-mentioned places. A corresponding concept was also developed, which included the various distance and hygiene rules. For example, the Christmas market stalls should have a greater distance from each other. But of course all these concepts and considerations are now obsolete.<\/p>\n

Understandably, the showmen, dealers and stallholders are particularly affected by the cancellation of the Christmas markets. But the cancellation also means financial losses for the Kiel retail trade.<\/p>\n
