Biesdorf Palace — Neoclassical Villa in a Prefab District

Biesdorf Palace is one of the few historic villas in East Berlin. Built in 1868 by Heinrich Quistorp and later acquired by Werner von Siemens, the neoclassical manor house today serves as a center for art and public space — a district cultural institution with exhibitions, lectures, and events. Surrounding it is the expansive palace park with old trees, a small lake, and a playground.

Since 2021 — Berlin's Newest Christmas Market

The Christmas Market around Biesdorf Palace celebrated its premiere in 2021 and has since established itself as a fixture in the district. In terms of concept, it is one of Berlin's youngest Christmas markets — but thanks to the extraordinary setting (palace and park) and the ambitious cultural program, it is already among the most charming destinations for families from Marzahn-Hellersdorf and Lichtenberg.

The Program

Arts and Crafts: approx. 40 exhibitors with handmade wood, ceramic, textile, and jewelry items
Charitable Stalls: Associations and initiatives from the district present their work and collect donations
Concerts: daily live music in various styles — jazz, swing, Balkan music, gospel choir
Miniature Railway: a small train takes children through the thematically designed park
Children's Cultural Program: craft activities, storytelling, hands-on activities
Mobile Cinema Evening: family-friendly films on Saturday in the open-air cinema at the palace
Palace Tours: special tours of current exhibitions with a Christmas theme
Mulled wine, bratwurst, crêpes, waffles

Marzahn-Hellersdorf District and Biesdorf Locality

Biesdorf is one of the more rural localities in the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district. Unlike the directly neighboring prefabricated housing estates of Marzahn or Hellersdorf, Biesdorf has largely retained its old structures: single-family homes, farms, an old village church, and the palace with its park. The Christmas market underscores this character — it is not a large commercial event, but a deliberately quiet, family-friendly district market.
