The final Kathreinsonntag in Weiden drew large crowds and was considered a success by local retailers and vendors, despite the event's scheduled end. The day saw intense shopping activity, with stores and markets in the city center bustling despite cold weather, as shoppers sought discounts, warmth, and holiday cheer. Retailers like Wöhrl and local traders reported high satisfaction, noting that the event served as a kickoff for the Black Week sales and Christmas shopping. However, this last occurrence of the traditional event has disappointed many business owners who valued the occasion, as a replacement date has been planned but falls outside the usual holiday period. The market featured various stalls, including wool and toy vendors, and was enjoyed by visitors and police alike, who described the day as peaceful. Meanwhile, in Amberg, a violent incident occurred early Sunday morning where a 20-year-old man was assaulted by two men at an Imbiss. The attackers, aged 23 and 36, kicked and punched the victim, who suffered pain but did not require medical treatment. The police secured video evidence of the attack. Additionally, in broader news, a serious traffic accident on the A93 near Maxhütte-Haidhof resulted in at least three fatalities, highlighting ongoing safety concerns in the region.
