Alt-Buckow Advent Market

For over thirty years, the Advent market has followed the same pattern: 1st Advent weekend, Saturday and Sunday, around two dozen stalls on the village green, mulled wine, handicrafts, and stage music. Exact dates and opening hours will be communicated one to two weeks before the market on berlin.de and via the church community.

The Alt-Buckow Advent Market 2026 is expected to take place on the first Advent weekend (November 28/29, 2026) on the Alt-Buckow village green, 12349 Berlin-Neukölln. Confirmation of exact times and the stage program will be provided by the organizer Das sympathische Buckow e.V. together with the Evangelical Church Community of Alt-Buckow a few weeks before the market — typically published on berlin.de and in the local Neukölln news.

Standard Program (based on previous editions)

• Stalls — Christmas decorations, handicrafts, candles, gift ideas, jewelry
• Gastronomy — Mulled wine, hot chocolate, children's punch, gingerbread, stollen, bratwurst, crêpes

Getting There

U-Bahn (subway) line U7 to Rudow, then bus M11 to Alt-Buckow. Alternatively, bus M44 from S-Bahn station Buckower Chaussee. By car via the A113 (Gropiusstadt exit). Parking around the village green is very limited — public transport or bicycle recommended.

Admission

Free admission. Pay directly for food and drinks at the stalls. Candlelight creates a particularly contemplative atmosphere after dark.
