Criticism of the Lichtenrad Lichtermarkt: disappointment or success?

The Lichtenrad Lichtermarkt in Berlin has been very popular for 46 years and took place this year on the 1st Advent, December 1, 2024, in Alt-Lichtenrade. Around the village pond on the old village church, the district office Tempelhof-Schöneberg had built up around 100 stands that offered a variety of handmade articles and culinary specialties. From cuddly ceilings to hearty grilled meat and the traditional mulled wine, there was something for every taste, such as berlin.de reported.

The event, which has a clear charitable character, offers local non -profit associations the opportunity to offer their products and to send the proceeds to social purposes. Despite the many satisfied visitors who enjoyed the atmospheric atmosphere and admired the shine of the lights, there were also critical voices. An unsatisfied market visitor complained in a post on Facebook about the quality of the products and described the market as a "pure disappointment". However, some of the people present vehemently defended the market and emphasized the many beautiful stands, in which the effort and commitment of the contributors were clearly noticeable, so berlin-live.de. .
