On May 31, 2015, a good 5,000 people from Giessen came together on a large meadow on the Lahn to picnic together – for a world record. For the second time it was about the “longest uninterrupted picnic blanket route”. Although it was successful last year with 1,647 meters, it was only possible to achieve a new German record with this length. But in the second attempt, Gießen secured the world record of 2,433.60 meters, which had been held in Canada since July 2012.
