"Germans love to light up die Boller to mark the new year in a tradition that reportedly dates back to the pagan era. Given the ease of buying and using modern fireworks and the number of people living in Germany's cities today, you'll be in for quite a spectacle no matter where in the country you find yourself this New Year's Eve."
"The iconic New Year's Eve celebration at Brandenburg Gate is still happening, but with a new, smaller format for 2025. The event, now called "Yeah 26," is limited to 20,000 attendees and features DJ sets and a seven-minute fireworks display at midnight. Entry is only possible with a free ticket and security is set to be significantly stricter. The traditional ZDF television show has moved to Hamburg, with ARD now broadcasting the Berlin event."
Fireworks form the centerpiece of New Year's Eve celebrations across Germany, rooted in a tradition that reportedly dates back to the pagan era. Modern fireworks are easy to buy and use, and dense urban populations make for spectacular displays across cities. Berlin's Brandenburg Gate event will return in a reduced format called "Yeah 26," capped at 20,000 people with DJ sets and a seven-minute midnight fireworks display, free tickets and heightened security. ZDF's traditional show has moved to Hamburg while ARD will broadcast Berlin's event. Scenic viewing also includes riverbanks and bridges such as Moltkebrücke and the Oberbaumbrücke.
