Medieval Spectacle over Ascension Weekend
When Schlossgut Altlandsberg opens its gates on Ascension Day, the grand Knights' Festival & Ascension Day begins. For four days, the organizer Carnica Spectaculi transforms the estate east of Berlin – just about 20 kilometers as the crow flies from the Berlin city limits – into a medieval market with everything that belongs to an authentic staging: knight tournaments, jugglers, fire shows, historical crafts, and medieval tavern cuisine.
The centerpiece of the festival is the knight fights with Midgards Feuerbund. The combat group re-enacts historical knight tournaments and stages show fights with swords, axes, and lances. In a special competition area, you can try your hand at axe throwing or archery – the outfitters will give you a brief introduction.
A historical market with over 50 stalls stretches across the grounds: blacksmiths demonstrate their work at the forge, potters, leatherworkers, and basket weavers showcase their crafts. At the taverns, you can enjoy mead, wine, and hearty dishes like wild boar on a spit, bread from a clay oven, or pea soup.
Altlandsberg is a small town on the eastern edge of the Berlin commuter belt in the Märkisch-Oderland district of Brandenburg. The baroque manor with its castle church, brewery, and park is an attractive destination even outside of the Knights' Festival.
The Knights' Festival & Ascension Day 2026 opens its gates on Thursday, May 14th (Ascension Day), and closes on Sunday, May 17th. For four days, experience the Middle Ages within the historic walls of Schlossgut Altlandsberg in the Märkisch-Oderland district.
Organizer Carnica Spectaculi brings experienced performance groups from all over Germany to Altlandsberg – including the combat troupe Midgards Feuerbund, the HOCHKANT stilt theatre, Duo ConFilius, the Schmierenkomödianten, as well as musicians from Kumpanei Ohrenpeyn and the jester troupe Opus Furore.
