Britzer Baumblüte

About Britzer Baumblüte

The Britzer Baumblüte is one of Berlin's oldest and most popular folk festivals (Volksfeste). Every spring, when the fruit trees in Gutspark Britz are in bloom, the festival grounds between Parchimer Allee and Gutshof transform into a fairground with a Ferris wheel, roller coaster, beer tent, and live stage. The tradition dates back to 1956, and the festival is organized by the Wollenschlaeger family of showmen from Berlin. Free admission, reduced ride prices on Wednesdays, live music daily, plus bratwurst, beer, and Federweißer — a true Berlin institution, celebrating its 70th edition in 2026.

70 Years of Berlin Spring Tradition

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.

Folk Festival with UNESCO Status

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 and the Neukölln District

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.
