In the Christmas bakery (In der Weihnachtsbäckerei)

There are many a treat (Gibt es manche Leckerei)
Between flour and milk (Zwischen Mehl und Milch)
Many a munchkin makes (Macht so mancher Knilch)
A huge mess (Eine riesengroße Kleckerei)
In the Christmas bakery (In der Weihnachtsbäckerei)

This text is the chorus of a song called „In der Weihnachtsbäckerei“ (In the Christmas bakery). This was the first German song that I really liked. It surprised me when I heard it at the VONOVIA Ruhrstadion in Bochum. After the tradition of baking cakes at the flat-sharing evening, I wasn’t prepared for such a unique surprise.

I never thought it would be possible to sing Christmas carols in a football stadium. Although I saw a lot of people arriving, the seats were always empty. It was amazing how the stadium could hold so many people.

Together with the other volunteers, Isaac, Median, Nisha and Phaskal, we had a great time on our first experience. What a fantastic experience Carolin, Frauke and Dirk made for us. We are really grateful for our volunteer placement in Dortmund.
