Cosy Advent market in the barns of the Old Kachelofenfabrik
The Advent market in the barns of the Alte Kachelofenfabrik is a special kind of Christmas market in Neustrelitz, the baroque residential city in the Mecklenburg Lake District (state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern). The venue is the Alte Kachelofenfabrik on Sandberg, a historic industrial monument that today houses the Basiskulturfabrik, a socio-cultural centre with a gallery, cinema, event spaces, and an organic hotel.
Unlike the large city centre Christmas markets, the Kachelofenfabrik Advent market deliberately focuses on peace and cosiness. In the historic factory barns, stalls offer handmade goods—wooden jewellery, ceramics, wool and felt products, soaps, books—and creative gift ideas. In addition, there are homemade culinary specialities and warm drinks.
The market also offers a small cultural program: live music accompanies strolls through the barns, there is communal singing around the bonfire, and a cinema program for children. Storytellers provide contemplative moments with Christmas tales. Thus, the Advent market combines shopping, socialising, and culture.
The Alte Kachelofenfabrik is a reminder of Neustrelitz's industrial past. The fact that this place today brings together culture, community, and sustainable practices gives the Advent market its special character—a worthwhile Advent excursion off the beaten path.
In 2026, the Advent market will open its doors on the 1st Sunday of Advent—likely November 29th—from 12 PM to 6 PM in the historic barns of the Alte Kachelofenfabrik.
In the historic barns of the Basiskulturfabrik on Sandberg 3a, stalls will offer handmade goods such as wooden jewellery, ceramics, wool and felt products, soaps, and books, as well as creative gift ideas. Homemade culinary specialities and warm drinks will also be available. Live music, communal singing around the bonfire, Christmas readings, and a children's cinema program will round off the market.
The detailed program with times and participants for 2026 will be announced by the Basiskulturfabrik.
