Chaos on Berlin's Christmas market: painful ice skate dispute!

The festive Christmas markets in Germany are not only a contemplative atmosphere, but also Zoff! A violent incident occurred at the Christmas market at the Red Rathaus in Berlin when there was a discussion between two young people. According to Berlin Live , the 16-year-old Sophie came to a hospital after she was victim of a violent attack during a dispute on the ice rink on the Neptunbrunnen.

The incident took place on Monday evening at 7:30 p.m. when the 15-year-old pushed her to the ground to the ground and stepped against her head with a ice shoe. The 16-year-old may have suffered a traumatic brain trauma, which caused the alarmed rescue workers to take them to a hospital with their mother. The attacker also complained about pain in the head and neck area and received treatment directly on site. Her three friends, at the age of 14 and 17, went to the help of the 16-year-olds and hit the attacker, which further escalated. The police are now investigating the incident for dangerous bodily harm.

dispute over Christmas markets in Elberfeld

rga reports, the interest group of the Elberfeld retailers (IG 1) and the event agency Cultura are fighting for the orientation of the Elberfeld Christmas market from 2017. A Europe -wide tender could result in neither cultura nor the Cologne agency preferred by IG 1, but possibly a cheapest provider from abroad.

Cultura Managing Director Hartmut Wilke said calmly about the possible tender, while IG 1 continues to indicate the importance of the market for retail. The months of November and December represent the highest sales of the year for many retailers, and the Christmas market plays a crucial role in luring customers into the city centers. A failure of the Christmas market would therefore result in fatal consequences for local trade.
