We are quite satisfied with the business,” said Birgit Grothues from the Christmas market at Cologne Cathedral.

In addition, it was difficult to find "good and sufficient staff," said Grothues of the German Press Agency. And the feedback from the visitors? "Consistently positive," she said. For many visitors, the visit to the Christmas market was "a break from the flood of problems".
