Der Weihnachtsbaum für den Schönbrunner Weihnachtsmarkt ist am Dienstag im Ehrenhof des Wiener Schlosses aufgestellt worden. Die rund 80 Jahre alte und 22 Meter hohe Fichte stammt aus dem Wienerwald und hat damit nur etwa 20 Kilometer bis zu ihrem neuen Standort zurückgelegt.

The foresters had already searched for a suitable tree in the summer. „The Vienna Woods is a typical deciduous forest area. Such a stately, evenly grown spruce is a very special find here,“ said Andreas Gruber, chairman of the Austrian Federal Forests (ÖBf).
On Monday, the tree was felled in the Federal Forests district of Breitenfurt near Pressbaum and transported to Schönbrunn in the early hours of Tuesday morning. The Christmas market opens its doors on November 6th.
