Falkenhagener Feld Neighborhood Festival

A Large Housing Estate Neighborhood Festival with its Own Tradition

The Falkenhagener Feld in Berlin's Spandau district is one of the large post-war housing estates from the 1960s and 1970s. With the neighborhood festival, the district has created its own annual event since 2006, supported by the community, bringing together neighborhood work, culture, and encounters.

What to Expect

The festival is intentionally accessible and combines neighborhood information with family entertainment:

• Market stalls from social initiatives, associations, and cultural organizations from Falkenhagener Feld
• Stage program with music, dance, and performances
• Hands-on activities in sports, art, and crafts
• Children's play areas (bouncy castle, face painting, craft activities)
• Food and drinks from local vendors and associations
• Sports demonstrations by Spandau clubs

Westerwaldplatz and Klubhaus Spandau

The venue is Westerwaldplatz – a neighborhood square in the center of Falkenhagener Feld, surrounded by Klubhaus Spandau, the district library, and the Zufluchtskirche parish. This concentration of social facilities makes the square the natural center of the festival. In 2026, a new temporary neighborhood center will also open in Falkenhagener Feld (March 2026), further strengthening the social infrastructure.

Organizers

The festival is organized by the association KNiFF e.V. together with Klubhaus Spandau, with financial and organizational support from the Falkenhagener Feld Ost and West neighborhood managements. This makes the festival part of the Berlin funding initiative "Soziale Stadt" (Social City), which aims to give districts with special development needs their own cultural visibility.

Spandau and the Large Housing Estates

Spandau, in the far west of Berlin, is one of the largest Berlin districts with nearly 250,000 inhabitants and has several large housing estates, including Falkenhagener Feld, Heerstraße, and Staaken. Neighborhood festivals like this one are an important link between administration, associations, and residents here.
