LebensArt Messe Mötzow

Garden, Living, and Lifestyle at Domstiftsgut

The LebensArt Messe is a nationally established event format — a traveling garden and lifestyle fair that each year features high-quality exhibitors at rural castles, manor houses, and estates across Germany for a long weekend. From August 14th to 16th, 2026, it will be hosted at Vielfruchthof Domstiftsgut Mötzow, a historic estate in the municipality of Beetzseeheide, about 10 km northwest of Brandenburg an der Havel. For three days, the spacious estate courtyard will be transformed into a display of plants, furniture, fashion, art, and culinary offerings.

Over 27 Thematic Areas — What You'll Find There

The concept of LebensArt is curated diversity: over 27 thematic areas set up outdoors and in the estate's stables. In the garden section: plants of all kinds (perennials, roses, herbs, bonsai), floristry, sculptures, garden furniture, outdoor accessories. In the living section: antiques, restored furniture, modern designer pieces, home accessories, table linens, lamps. In the fashion section: sustainable fashion, knitwear, hats, shoes, jewelry (goldsmiths, silver jewelry). In the culinary section: regional producers (cheese, honey, wine, beer, liqueurs, chocolate), street food, and a café.

Expert Lectures and Music

In addition to the market, LebensArt offers a supporting program: expert lectures on garden topics, plant care, living trends, or lifestyle, given by invited experts. This is complemented by a music program — usually singer-songwriters, jazz, or acoustic pop — that shapes the rural summer atmosphere. The combination of market, knowledge, and music constitutes the charm of the fair: not a classic sales hustle, but a calm, high-quality exploration tour.

Vielfruchthof Domstiftsgut Mötzow — The Venue

The Vielfruchthof Domstiftsgut Mötzow is a diverse agricultural operation focusing on fruit and berry cultivation (Vielfruchthof = farm with many fruit varieties), historically an estate of the Brandenburg Cathedral Chapter. Today, the estate operates sales, events, and a farm café. The mix of historic architecture (brick stable, old linden trees) and a vibrant operation provides LebensArt with a particularly authentic backdrop.

Brandenburg an der Havel and Beetzseeheide

Beetzseeheide is located in the municipality of Beetzsee, approx. 10 km northwest of Brandenburg an der Havel. Brandenburg an der Havel — one of the oldest cities in the Mark Brandenburg — is a good option for arrival: train from Berlin in 45 minutes, then by car or taxi to Mötzow. Those who stay in Brandenburg can combine their visit to LebensArt with a day in the historic old town (Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Mühlentorturm tower, Havel boat trip).
