Advent Atmosphere in the Village Green

When the Alt-Buckow village green switches to Advent mode in December, the medieval green transforms into a mini Christmas market: around two dozen wooden stalls, fairy lights in the linden trees, the warm glow from the windows of the 13th-century fieldstone church. The market is small, intimate, and explicitly non-commercial — setting it clearly apart from the large Christmas markets in Berlin's city center at Alexanderplatz or Gendarmenmarkt.

Program and Atmosphere

Artists from the neighborhood present music, dance, or other Christmas contributions on a small stage. The stalls offer Christmas decorations, gift ideas, candles, and handicrafts, complemented by food and drinks — mulled wine, hot chocolate, children's punch, gingerbread, stollen, bratwurst, and crêpes. Organizers are the working group Das sympathische Buckow e.V. and the Evangelical Church Community of Alt-Buckow.

Buckow and the Neukölln District

Buckow is one of Berlin's most surprising neighborhoods — a medieval village green in the Neukölln district that has retained its village green form to this day. The Alt-Buckow village church, dating from the 13th century, is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Berlin. The Advent market is the winter highlight of this neighborhood, one of several fixed dates (see also the Buckow Village Green Festival in summer and the Festival of Lights in Rudow). A Berlin Advent market for all those who want to avoid the huge spectacle.
