This decision was made by the mayors Martin Papke (Weißenfels) and Armin Müller (Naumburg) after intensive talks with the market vendors on Saturday morning (21 December 2024). “We want to send a signal of solidarity – both with the victims and their families in Magdeburg, as well as with our own citizens. At the same time, it is important to offer people a space to come together and experience a sense of community during these difficult times,” said Mayor Martin Papke. The markets will continue as so-called “silent Christmas markets”: no music will be played, and both cities will enforce heightened security measures. Mourning flags have also been ordered to pay respect to the victims in Magdeburg. Mayor Armin Müller emphasized: “Our sympathy goes out to the victims and their loved ones. It is important to us not only to commemorate in silence, but also to create space for grief and solidarity. At the same time, we want to offer people a sense of normalcy during this special time.” In Weißenfels, a mourning site will be established at the Marienkirche on the market square. Outside the city bank, a condolence book and space for wreaths or flowers will be provided. In Naumburg, flowers can be laid at the Christmas nativity scene in front of St. Wenzel’s town church. The Christmas markets will be open on the fourth Advent weekend as follows: Weißenfels – Saturday, 21 December 2024 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 22 December 2024 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; Naumburg – Saturday, 21 December 2024 from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday, 22 December 2024 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Both markets will officially end on Sunday evening, 22 December 2024. The event “Advent in the Vineyards” in Naumburg will take place as planned. The ice rinks in both cities will remain open after the markets end – in Weißenfels until 6 January 2025, and in Naumburg until 5 January 2025. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ There are growing media reports indicating that authorities were warned about the attacker in advance. Magdeburg: Saudis urgently warned German authorities about Taleb A.'s "extremist views." To what extent this proves to be true remains to be seen.
