Heart's desires fulfilled: Landsberg shows great willingness to help!
Looking forward to Christmas: In Landsberg am Lech, this year's wishing tree campaign, which is taking place for the fourth time, will once again be a shining highlight of the cold season. Mayor Doris Baumgartl is pleased about the high level of willingness to donate from the people of Landsberg, whose support helps ensure that many children, young people, families and older people from financially challenging situations can experience a happy Christmas. The campaign, which will have its closing ceremony on December 22, 2025 in the tourist information center, is an impressive example of charity in action.
How does the wish tree campaign work? It's simple: the city provides “wish hearts” that can contain wishes worth up to 30 euros. These hearts were diligently distributed in the citizens' office, at schools, senior citizens' facilities and social institutions. After filling out the good wishes, they hung on a stately wishing tree in the courtyard of the historic town hall. Everyone who picked up a heart had the opportunity to fulfill one or more of their heart's wishes and thus make the recipient happy. This system proved to be very effective as a total of 197 wishes were fulfilled.
Gift wishes for young and old
The wishes that hung on this wonderful tree covered a wide spectrum: everything from warm clothing and food vouchers to footballs, books, cuddly toys, shoes and crayons are represented. “It is impressive how solidarity our citizens show,” emphasizes Baumgartl. This campaign makes an important contribution to giving the needy people in the city a bright celebration.
For anyone who has wondered in recent years how such a wishing tree campaign can be organized and carried out, the digital counterpart, which is already working successfully elsewhere, offers some interesting approaches. The digital wish tree makes it possible to record wishes centrally and make them visible to everyone. This makes it easier to carry out and saves time, which is essential in hectic times such as the run-up to Christmas.
Community and cohesion
Above all, Doris Baumgartl emphasizes how important the community spirit is in Landsberg. “The response to our campaign is overwhelming,” she says. The wishing tree not only helps people in need, but also promotes team cohesion within the city. It's a wonderful opportunity to specifically support organizations that are close to your heart, be it a facility for the homeless or a care facility for children.
With this in mind, it will be interesting to see how the tradition of the wishing tree campaign will continue to develop in the coming year. What remains is the certainty that helpfulness and togetherness are very important in Landsberg - and that makes the festival of love twice as beautiful!
