Over €2.2 Million Raised for Victims of Magdeburg Christmas Market Attack

The city begins distributing donations as efforts to support over 500 affected individuals continue following the deadly incident.

A 50-year-old man drove a car through the Magdeburg Christmas market shortly before Christmas, killing six people and injuring nearly 300 others.
Over €2.2 million in donations have been collected, with funds coming from city accounts, charity organizations, and private campaigns.
The city is working to distribute the donations quickly and legally to the victims and their families.
Efforts are underway to provide psychological and practical support to over 500 affected individuals, including victims' families and those experiencing trauma.
A temporary memorial near the attack site is being scaled down, with plans to create a permanent remembrance space in the city's Old Town Hall.
