Played, sung, appreciated - Alsfeld and its mayor are "on celebration"

A colorful firework of music, speeches, appreciative retrospectives and outlooks and many congratulations were the core components of the commemorative evening for the 800th anniversary of the Alsfeld city rights with about 200 invited guests in the town hall. The storm warning on Thursday had made it necessary to move from the market square the day before. "Safety first," wrote business promoter Uwe Eifert in the urgent e-mail message. It turned out to be a wise decision: Although they had to do without the picturesque backdrop of the town hall and the like, they were not exposed to the raining thunderstorm.
