The Johanniskirche, a church located just a short distance from where the attack unfolded, has emerged as the focal point for mourners since Friday evening's tragedy, when a car plowed into the bustling Christmas market, claiming five lives. The sidewalk outside the church is now blanketed with a sea of flowers, a somber tribute to the victims.

A victim who was critically injured in the attack has succumbed to her injuries, prosecutors have said. Attacks on Christmas markets have resulted in increased security across the country.
