Aue-Bad Schlema's Giant Pine Leans and Gets Taken Down
Once again, the tall Christmas tree on Postplatz in Aue-Bad Schlema showed signs of stress, leading to its dismantling. The 13-meter-high tree developed a crack in its trunk, causing it to lean, as announced by the town on Monday. Along with the tree, the twinkling Christmas lights were also removed. Regrettably, there won't be a replacement this year due to time and organizational constraints. However, an undamaged 12-meter-high tree still stands proudly on the Altmarkt.
The town decided to address the crack on the previous tree's trunk, keeping it in reserve for possible future uses. Despite this setback, Aue-Bad Schlema's cherished tradition of elevating their Christmas celebrations with towering trees continues, with the undamaged 12-meter tree still standing tall on the Altmarkt.
