Altstadtfest Trebbin 2026

Trebbin — the "Clauertstadt" celebrates its center

Trebbin is a small town in the southern Brandenburg district of Teltow-Fläming, located about 40 kilometers south of Berlin. The nickname "Clauertstadt" goes back to Hans Clauert — the "Brandenburg Till Eulenspiegel", who lived here in the 16th century and became part of folk culture as a Brandenburg-Franconian jester. The Clauert monument on the market square is the center of the town and a point of identification — and the venue for the annual Altstadtfest.

Open courtyards and medieval camp

The program begins in the early afternoon (2 PM) with the open courtyards: residents and associations open their private inner courtyards around the market square to visitors, with coffee tables, small exhibitions, and live music. In parallel, the Celtic-Medieval Camp sets up: show fights for children with wooden swords, fortune-telling, medieval crafts, and camp life.

Main stage with swing, pop, and comedy

On the main stage at the market square, the day's programs alternate from 3 PM: dance workshops, swing sets, pop vocal performances, comedy acts, and the traditional DDR quiz — a popular program item for the generation that grew up here. From 7 PM, the evening program begins in the festival tent with dancing and live music; from 9 PM, campfire singing takes place outdoors.

Admission with a system

The Altstadtfest has a two-tier admission model: Admission to the festival grounds costs €2.50 (children under 12 free). The festival tent evening costs €7.50 in advance — separate reservation is necessary due to limited capacity. The advance booking telephone number for the Trebbin Tourist Information is 033731 / 700011.

Summer tradition in Teltow-Fläming

The Altstadtfest is one of the fixed summer dates in southern Brandenburg. While the exact date for 2026 has not yet been officially published (typical slot: a weekend in June or July), the format remains the same: two to three days of program, the medieval camp at the market square, the long festival tent Saturday, and the campfire evening as a unifying highlight for families and those returning home. The official website of the town of Trebbin will publish the exact dates in the spring of 2026.
