Red Baron got an invitation to Freiburg's New Year's reception this year. Given the importance of the city's 900th anniversary in 2020, there were 1600 invited guests and, in addition, 900 randomly selected citizens.
To accommodate the nearly 3000 people, the city rented the Sick Arena at the exhibition grounds. Instead of the traditional lord mayor's speech, Martin Horn went through Freiburg's past history, the present, and the city's future.

What will the future be like? Despite all real and imagined changes,
Freiburg's Minster Church will remain the center of the city. |

The dancers of the Dance Academy who had performed behind the semi-transparent
projection screen claim their more than rightly deserved applause. |

Following the impressive presentation, Red Baron met many friends at the party and had some drinks.
