Overview

The 6th edition of the Historical Apple Festival at Britz Castle took place on September 27th and 28th, 2025. Cocolorus Diaboli – acrobats, travelling musicians, actors, magicians, and clowns – once again animated the manor courtyard. The apple variety exhibition with pomologist consultation, the historical apple press, axe and archery, the giant trampoline, and the pony rides attracted families from Neukölln and all over Berlin, as every year. Organizer: Cocolorus Budenzauber e.V.

The 2025 edition followed the proven concept: historical market activities in the Britz manor courtyard, combined with the central apple variety exhibition and a dense stage program by the Cocolorus troupe. Those who came with their own apples from the garden had their variety identified by the pomologist – a service that draws queues every year. At the historical apple press, visitors could make their own juice.

For children, pony rides, the giant trampoline, archery, and stilt-walking workshops were among the regular attractions. Blacksmiths, leather craftsmen, and sellers of herbs and honey complemented the medieval market atmosphere. The baroque setting of the 18th-century castle gave the festival an unusual depth for a Berlin district festival.
