They followed the call by the environmental organization WWF to turn off the lights for one hour as a sign of climate protection. In Hesse’s largest city, Frankfurt, the Paulskirche and the Römer were shrouded in darkness between 8.30 and 9.30 p.m., the bridges over the Main were only illuminated by emergency lighting. According to WWF spokesman Julian Philipp, there were around 570 registrations across Germany, which is a record. “The sensitivity is higher and the climate crisis is not waiting,” said Philipp, referring to this year’s popularity. The action takes place for the 15th time. Last year around 25 municipalities in Hesse were there. In Hesse, numerous cities with well-known buildings wanted to participate, including the cathedrals in Fulda and Wetzlar, the town hall in Weilburg, the Runkel and Kronberg castles, the rococo Braunshardt palace in Weiterstadt and the residential palace in Darmstadt. © dpa-infocom, dpa: 210327-99-997757 / 2 — .
