PRODUCTION - 16 November 2021, North Rhine-Westphalia, Oberhausen: The entrance to the house is decorated with lights, an inflatable snowman stands in the driveway. Dirk van Acken from Oberhausen has been decorating his home for Christmas since 2013, and by now he has accumulated around 30,000 lights in and around the house. No room in the apartment is without Christmas decorations, and van Acken has even set up two "snow cannons" in the garden. As the Christmas decorations grew, so did the number of visitors. In the last few years, almost 1,000 visitors have taken a look at the extraordinary house. Photo: Fabian Strauch/dpa
