Palace Garden in Festival Mode
Schloss Schönhausen in Berlin's Pankow district of Niederschönhausen was once the summer residence of Prussian queens and, during the GDR era, a guest house for the government. Today, it belongs to the Foundation of Prussian Palaces and Gardens Berlin-Brandenburg. The extensive palace garden with old tree-lined avenues, a pond, and the baroque main building forms the backdrop for the annual Kunstfest Pankow.
Art, Music, and Children's Program
For one weekend in June, the entire palace grounds are divided into several zones. On the main stage, bands from Berlin and Brandenburg play across various styles – pop, jazz, folk, classical. On the lawns, artists from the district exhibit their works, ranging from sculpture and painting to performance. Small stages become islands for readings and comedy.
Family Focus
With a focus on family offerings, the art festival is one of the most popular family events in the entire city. Hands-on workshops for painting, building, and crafting, a fairy tale tent, face painting, a carousel, and a children's concert are spread throughout the garden. Small stalls offer craft materials, books, and sustainable toys.
Organizers and Pankow Identity
The main organizer is GESOBAU AG, one of the largest housing associations in Pankow, in collaboration with the Pankow district office and the Foundation of Prussian Palaces and Gardens. The festival aims to be a social and cultural meeting point for the district – an important anchor between housing, neighborhood, and culture in a growing Berlin.
