'World's tallest Christmas tree' lights up Dortmund to mark start of festive season
The German city of Dortmund illuminated what it said is the world's tallest Christmas tree on Monday, drawing hundreds of spectators to its annual festive market to witness the spectacle.
The city asserts the 45-metre-high structure is the tallest Christmas tree made entirely of real trees, though this remains unverified.
The massive installation consists of 1,200 individual red spruce trees weighing around 40 tonnes in total.
At four meters tall, the angel at the top stands taller than most standard Christmas trees, while 138,000 LED lights provide the illumination.
The tree has been erected in Dortmund every year since 1996 as the centerpiece of the city's Christmas market, known as "Christmas City."
