Berlin's oldest spring festival in Neukölln-Britz, every spring since 1956
The Britzer Baumblüte has been held since 1956, without interruption. The festival originated from agricultural tradition: around Gutspark Britz, in the south of Neukölln, there were large orchards dating back to the 19th century, whose blooming period in April enchanted residents and Berliners alike. After the war, a leisurely stroll evolved into a folk festival, organized by the Wollenschlaeger family, who are now responsible for the Britzer Baumblüte in the third generation.
German folk festival culture was added to the UNESCO's national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2024. In Berlin, the Britzer Baumblüte is one of the oldest representatives of this tradition — older than the Oktoberfest offshoot at Alexanderplatz, older than the Stadtfest at the Brandenburg Gate. Anyone who wants to understand what Berlin's folk festival culture means in the 21st century should come here.
Britz is a rather quiet district in the south of Neukölln, characterized by the Hufeisensiedlung (UNESCO World Heritage site of Berlin Modernism) and large green spaces — Britzer Garten, Schloss Britz, Gutspark. For decades, the Baumblüte has been the only major highlight in the spring calendar here and is considered a family event: children and seniors during the day, Berliners from all over the city in the evenings, gathering in the beer tents. Admission is free, underscoring the festival's character as a neighborhood festival.
For its 70th edition, the Britzer Baumblüte opened on March 27, 2026, and runs until April 19, 2026 — four full weeks spanning the Berlin Easter period. The venue is the festival grounds between Parchimer Allee, Fulhamer Allee, and Gutspark Britz in the Britz district (Neukölln borough).
Around 40 showmen are present on the grounds, including a Ferris wheel, bumper cars, the family roller coaster "Nessi", a Break Dance carousel, and shooting galleries. The Wollenschlaeger family operates the large beer tent with a dance floor and stage, where free live music is played daily (the detailed stage program is continuously updated on the official website). The festival was officially opened on March 24, 2026, at a press conference in Schillerkiez.
