Arson Spree: A Hundred Easter Bonfires Erupt in Lüneburg Region
Get ready for a festive spring as the Lüneburg district prepares to host its annual Easter fires. These traditional celebrations will take place from Maundy Thursday, April 17, 2025, through Easter Sunday.
For those interested, a digital map of the district, available at www.ourwebsite/easterfires, lists over 100 fires with their times, addresses, and organisers. The fires will be lit in various locations, including the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg, along the Elbe, and in the heath.
The firewood used for these celebrations should be collected no earlier than a week before Easter to ensure the best quality. To protect birds and small mammals, the woodpiles should only be stacked on the day of the fire. It's important to note that no waste or bulky waste is allowed during the Easter fires.
Safety is a top priority during these events. District Fire Chief Matthias Lanius emphasises the importance of following safety measures. Firefighters make sure that there is enough extinguishing agent available at all times and ensure there is enough distance from nearby buildings and vegetation to prevent the fire from spreading.
If you'd like to register an Easter fire or get more information, you can contact your local town hall, community office, or fire department. Only untreated wood, branches, and straw can be burned during the Easter fires.
Remember, some Easter fires will start on Maundy Thursday, while others will be on Easter Sunday. As the festivities approach, many residents are looking forward to spending time with family, friends, and neighbours during the Easter celebrations.
Interestingly, the woodpiles used for the Easter fires can serve as nesting sites for birds like the goldcrest or the redstart. Small animals such as frogs, hedgehogs, and field mice might seek shelter in the woodpiles, adding a touch of nature to these traditional celebrations.
So, mark your calendars and join in the festivities as the Lüneburg district comes alive with the warmth and spirit of the traditional Easter fires.
