Special Christmas party in Kitzingen: Together against loneliness!

Special Christmas party in Kitzingen: Together against loneliness!

Christmas in Kitzingen is just around the corner and the anticipation is palpable. But while many celebrate the holiday with their loved ones, many people in the past had to spend the holidays alone. That's why the St. Vinzenz team has launched a special Christmas party that will take place on Christmas Eve from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the district center in the settlement. For everyone who longs for community, this invitation is of great importance. Edith Burger, a member of the St. Vinzenz team, emphasizes that the event is open to single people, but also to married couples and families, and emphasizes the importance of not being alone on this day. This shows how important social support is during this festive but often lonely time. [Mainpost] reports that participants, who are often in emotional crises or grief, experience a sense of belonging through the celebration.

Speaking of community: Kitzingen is not only known for its cozy festivals, but also for the traditional Christmas market, which takes place annually on the third weekend of Advent. This year the market opened its doors on November 28th and runs until December 24th. In the historical backdrop of the Renaissance town hall and St. John's Church, the market offers a diverse program. The largest Advent candle in Bavaria, with a height of 39 meters, illuminates the festively decorated stands where regional specialties such as roasted chestnuts and Franconian bratwursts are offered. The air is filled with aromas such as mulled wine and winemaker's punch, and families with children in particular can look forward to numerous interactive activities. [Tradefairdates] highlights the market's easy accessibility, making it a popular destination for visitors from across the region.

Help and support at Christmas time

At a time when loneliness and sadness are often even more pronounced, the need for help is increasing. According to [Süddeutscher Zeitung], actions such as the “Zoom Christmas party” on December 25th, which is organized by the association “Ways out of Solitude e.V.”, are a valuable opportunity to receive support. This celebration promises music, conversations and a good atmosphere for all generations. The “Nobody Left Alone” initiative, which aims to connect people who are looking for or offering companionship, also shows how important it is to support each other these days.

There are also various offers of help available, including TelefonSeelsorge® Germany, which offers free, confidential support around the clock. Callers can dial 0800 1110111 or 0800 1110222 for assistance. For young people up to the age of 25, special advice such as “Youth Life Line” or “Crisis Chat” are available to offer support in difficult times. These offers are not just for Christmas, they can be used all year round.

This shows that Kitzingen is not only a place of festive traditions and culinary delights, but also a place that cares for and supports its citizens in difficult times. The festive events, combined with a wide range of support services, make the city a special place during the holidays.
