Unlike Neunkirchen, other municipalities have proactively switched their Christmas lighting to LED and have not done without it despite the energy crisis.
Driving through Neunkirchen, the festive Christmas lights are unfortunately missing. The Christmas lighting contributed to the city's appeal. Many residents feel that the streets from Bahnhofstraße to Oberer Markt look bleak without holiday decorations, and this year there is no Christmas spirit at all.
“In our view, the city of Neunkirchen has significantly missed the opportunity to convert from incandescent bulbs to LED lights in recent years. The city administration must push forward with switching to LED Christmas lighting for next year’s Christmas in order not to leave the anticipation for the holiday in the dark again,” said Chairman Brandon Lee Posse.
