Die große Schlagernacht Wriezen

Schlager under the open sky in the Oderbruch

The Wriezen open-air stage is one of Brandenburg's most beautiful open-air theaters — a grandstand built into the hillside with a stage podium and natural acoustics, located on the edge of the town of Wriezen in the Märkisch-Oderland district. When the Schlagernacht starts on May 23, 2026, at 6 p.m., the grandstand will fill with Schlager fans from the Oderbruch, from Eberswalde, Bad Freienwalde, and of course from Berlin (60 km away).

Schlager — the East German soundtrack

Schlager music holds a special place in eastern Germany. Generations have grown up with hits from Frank Schöbel, Andrea Berg, Helene Fischer, Roland Kaiser, or the stars of the Schlagerparade. The Schlagernacht Wriezen keeps this tradition alive as a family concert — grandparents bring their grandchildren, mothers and daughters sing along, and everyone dances in the end. It's a genre concert with a clear identity.

Wriezen and the open-air stage

Wriezen is a small town in the far east of Brandenburg, located on the Alte Oder river, just a few kilometers from the Polish border. The open-air stage was built in the 1950s and is now a venue for open-air theater, concerts, and summer cinema. The town is surrounded by the Oderbruch, an agriculturally characterized lowland that was drained by Frederick II — a region with its own distinct history and culture.

Weekend tip

For those combining the concert with a weekend trip: stay overnight in Wriezen or nearby Bad Freienwalde (8 km), go hiking in the Oderbruch, visit the Bismarck Tower, or take a trip to Poland (Wriezen-Polen bridge only 20 km away). May is the most beautiful time of year for the region — the Schlagernacht is the perfect occasion.
