The open letter to mayor dominik sauerteig (SPD) is signed by a diverse group: from the city council, melanie becker, michael dorant, wolfgang weib (all from the 90/die grunen group), thomas apfel, jessica heb and matthias schmidt-curio (all three from the WPC) are involved. Also listed are nico appelfeller (deputy chairman of the FDP coburg), oli schneider (agency streckenbach), ralf pazdera (chairman of the coburg section of the suddeutscher schaustellerverband), kevin pazdera (showman) and steffi cestone (spokeswoman of the board of zentrum coburg). Your request: the city should make something possible, if the christmas market doesn’t take place and also the alternative concept "winterzauber does not come to fruition.
The city’s own enterprise coburg marketing, which usually organizes the christmas market, had worked out an alternative concept with the two locations market and albertsplatz. There should have been more christmas, but fewer food and drink stands, explained horst graf, head of coburg marketing. But also this "winter magic (this is the name of the concept) the administrative senate had not wanted to risk.
