Looks like sale of fireworks was banned the last two years due to the pandemic.

Launching fireworks on New Year’s Eve, or Sylvester as it is locally called in Germany, is a decades-old tradition. When the clock strikes midnight, Germans pour into the streets as private firework displays fill the skies until early the next morning. According to Germany’s environment agency, up to €200 million is spent on fireworks mainly for personal use, The Guardian reported.

But as a result of this tradition, every year, hospitals across Germany report countless firework-related injuries, including severe burns and lacerated limbs.
