Exactly one year ago, Magdeburg's Christmas market was the scene of an attack that claimed the lives of six people and is still affecting the everyday lives of several hundred people a year later.
A memorial service will therefore be held on Saturday, with Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz also travelling to Magdeburg in person. Local police have also announced extensive traffic closures for the afternoon. A press release from the Magdeburg police station states that they want to "provide a protected space and ensure a safe stay".
