There was a time, it must have been before the turn of the millennium, when hardly anything upset the author of these lines more than when someone said: “Everything used to be better!” Now I not only know that in many people Cases are true, but I use this sentence myself more and more often.

Having grown up and socialized in the Federal Republic of Germany in the 1980s, it was felt that every kindergarten was still under the administrative management of a church that had not yet been infiltrated by the disciples of a climate sect. Visits from Santa Claus there were normal, as were the corresponding decorations in the facilities. The crowning glory, so to speak, was a nativity scene and – of course – the obligatory Christmas tree.

Today, in the “best Germany of all time”, these are only childhood memories that are increasingly in danger of fading (see here and here ). Even Christmas markets are often no longer called that, but have to be called “winter markets”. And Bible quotations now seem capable of endangering public peace .

The report about a completely escalated argument over a Christmas tree in a Hamburg kindergarten fits in with this. The announcement by the management of “Kita Mobi” that this year they would forego a decorated fir tree “in the spirit of religious freedom” left many parents stunned. But what happened next probably finally broke the camel's back.

In public institutions, especially when children are looked after, donations are of course always appreciated. Actually! Not so in Hamburg, at least not in the “Kita Mobi” and even less when the charitable gift consists of a Christmas tree and presents for the children.

The owner of a garden center not only took the liberty of setting up a Christmas tree in the daycare center's garden on the night of St. Nicholas Day, but also placed lovingly wrapped gifts for the children underneath it. For the “Finkenau Kindergarten Foundation” this was clearly too much – they filed a criminal complaint for trespassing!

Days before, the facility had informed the parents via email about their rejection of a Christmas tree as follows: “We as a team decided against it because we should not exclude any child and their faith.” Therefore, celebrating Christian festivals is excluded .

Florian Schröder, the noble donor, has already admitted his “crime” to “Bild”. The gardener said about his motive: “We believe that all children have the right to a Christmas tree. In our eyes, a Christmas tree represents warmth and community during contemplative times.” And further: “Having to do without a Christmas tree actually works against integration.”

Schröder is definitely speaking true words. Which, on the other hand, is of course only true if you assume - and that's how it used to be - that integration means the adaptation of the minority to the majority, regardless of whether on a social or cultural level!

Police and public prosecutors pay attention! Schröder speaks in the “we” form – so he appears to have had at least one accomplice when planning and/or committing his alleged crime. A spokeswoman confirmed that the police had received a corresponding criminal complaint. The gifts were “secured” and the “examination of the ownership structure” of the same had begun, it goes on to say.

In view of such reports, one wonders whether this woke nightmare will never end. Or should Christmas trees and ultimately Christianity as such no longer belong to Germany? And this of all times when everything and everyone is supposed to be part of it?

By the way: In Germany, trespassing can be punished with a prison sentence of up to one year or a fine according to Section 123 of the Criminal Code.
