Bremen's Harvest Market by the Water

When autumn arrives, the area around Speicher XI in Überseestadt transforms into a huge weekly market. For over 15 years, the Herbstmarkt am Speicher XI has been a fixture in Bremen's autumn calendar, attracting tens of thousands of visitors each year. The mix of regional harvest produce, autumnal arts and crafts, and the spectacular backdrop of red brick, harbour basin, and old warehouses makes the market unique.

Over 100 Market Stalls

Around 100 market traders from Bremen, Lower Saxony, and all over Northern Germany present their products. On one side, the harvest of autumn: apples, pumpkins, root vegetables, organic products, farm-fresh cheese, homemade sausage, fresh bread, honey from regional beekeepers, jams, spices, teas, and wines. On the other side, seasonal arts and crafts: warm clothing, ceramics, leather goods, light objects, wool blankets, garden decorations. Everything that makes autumn cozy.

Speicher XI – The Unique Backdrop

Speicher XI is one of the longest contiguous brick warehouses in Europe and is a listed building. It houses the University of the Arts and the Harbour Museum. The market takes place on the large open space between the warehouse and the harbour basin – a maritime industrial backdrop that clearly distinguishes it from classic city centre markets.

Family-Friendly and Free

Admission is free. There are regular hands-on activities, small carousels, or craft workshops for children. Food trucks and snack stands provide refreshments – from classic bratwurst to crêpes, tarte flambée, and autumnal specialities. Live music accompanies the market Sunday.

Date 2026: One Week Earlier

Traditionally, the Herbstmarkt takes place on German Unity Day (October 3rd). In 2026, Bremen will host the central celebrations for German Unity Day – therefore, the market will be brought forward by one week and will take place on September 27, 2026. So, plan this date well in advance.

Herbstmarkt Speicher XI — edition 2026

In 2026, the Herbstmarkt am Speicher XI will exceptionally open one week earlier than usual: on Sunday, September 27, 2026, over 100 market traders will present harvest produce, specialities, and arts and crafts in the Überseestadt. The earlier date is due to Bremen hosting the central celebrations for German Unity Day. Free admission, open from 11 am to 5 pm.

Early Date – German Unity Day in Bremen

In 2026, Bremen will host the central celebrations for German Unity Day. For organisational reasons, the Herbstmarkt am Speicher XI has been moved forward to September 27, 2026. The concept remains unchanged: a maritime autumn market against the brick backdrop of Speicher XI, over 100 stalls, live music, and a family program.
