Commotion during German Christmas! A church service at Freiburg Cathedral on Christmas Eve had to be canceled due to angry protests. The background is the expulsion of a popular bandmaster from the cathedral.
When the choir boys of Kapellmeister Boris Böhmann finished one of their songs, the members received applause for several minutes (see message below). According to German media reports, there were also calls against Archbishop Stephan Burger (62), who led the Christmas mass. Because there was no more peace, Burger had to cancel the service. The live broadcast of the church broadcaster K-TV also interrupted the program and showed the following message: “We ask for your understanding that the broadcast cannot continue due to a deliberate disruption of the service.”
On the sidelines of Christmas Mass, members of the parish handed out flyers demanding that the termination be “rescinded immediately.” According to reports, this will come into effect by the end of 2025.
Silence about reasons for dismissal
The Archdiocese of Freiburg is silent about the reasons for the dismissal of Boris Böhmann (60). Speaking to the “Badische Zeitung”, a spokesperson simply referred to data protection, which prohibits disclosure.
