It's that time of year again. The lights on the world's largest Christmas tree flickered on for the first time on Monday as Dortmund's Christmas market was opened to the public. That's right, the world's largest Christmas tree can be found in Dortmund, Germany. Standing at a whopping 45 meters, or 147 feet tall, Dortmund's tree is not actually a single tree. In fact, the gigantic tree is build by a construction company out of 1,700 other fir trees and weighs a combined 40 tons.
German Chancellor Oalf Scholz inaugurates the Christmas tree for the year 2022 at the Chancellery in Berlin in the presence of a children's choir. To save energy, the tree will be lit for much less time than in 2021, according to a government spokesman. IMAGES
