"Germany Cancels Christmas Markets 2025"
Publisher’s rating: DW Fact check: False. The article claims that organizers in smaller towns cite "unaffordable security costs" as the main reason for cancellations, allegedly stemming from recent terror attacks. However, it only mentions two specific examples: Rheinfeld and Schongau. DW reached out to officials in Schongau, Dormagen (which includes a district named Rheinfeld), and Rheinfelden — in case Duna Press had misspelled the town's name. Schongau responded clearly: "The 2025 Christmas market will take place as usual." "In previous years, there was no Christmas market in the Dormagen's district of Rheinfeld — and none is planned for 2025 either," the city of Dormagen informed DW. Rheinfelden had not responded by the time of publication. However, the official website of Rheinfelden confirms that the 2025 Christmas market is scheduled to go ahead.
