It is the weekend of the 3rd Advent and we have heard that this weekend is a very special date in the city of Bernburg. Namely, this weekend Santa Claus arrives in Bernburg and opens the monastery Christmas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

It is shortly before 1 p.m. and visitors and residents of Bernburg are on their way to the market bridge that connects the valley town across the Saale River with the mountain town. People stop at the bank and the bridge and everyone looks eagerly at the big lock. Since we do not know what is happening, we just stand by and wait with\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
