Young neighborhood Christmas market in East Berlin
In December 2025, a large Christmas market for Mahlsdorf took place for the first time on the Am Rosenhag sports field (Melanchthonstraße 53) — organized by four dedicated actors from the neighborhood: Mach-Mit-Kitas, BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf, Kiezmacher CDU Wuhletal, and the support association of the Mahlsdorf volunteer fire brigade. Around 2,500 visitors came — a number that confirms to the initiators that Mahlsdorf needs the market. A second edition is planned for 2026.
The grounds of BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf offer an unusual Advent backdrop: a sports field, a club hut, a parking lot — no historic city center romance, no market square with a town hall. Precisely this became its strength. Strings of lights stretched across the sports facility, fire pits provided warmth, a DJ played Christmas and pop music, and angel stilt walkers moved among the stalls. Santa Claus distributed sweets, and face painting was free.
Mahlsdorf is a classic outer district of Berlin: lots of single-family homes, lots of greenery, train connection via the S5 from the main station, U-Bahn connection at Mahlsdorf station in Karlshorst. Until 2025, the district had no large Christmas market of its own — the Christmas markets of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf district were concentrated on the Marktplatz Center Hellersdorf and Alt-Kaulsdorf. With the new market at BSV Eintracht, Mahlsdorf is catching up.
A second edition of the Mahlsdorfer Weihnachtsmarkt is being prepared for December 2026 on the club grounds of BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf. After the unexpectedly strong turnout at the premiere in 2025 (approx. 2,500 visitors), the four initiators — Mach-Mit-Kitas, BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf, Kiezmacher CDU Wuhletal, and the support association of the Mahlsdorf volunteer fire brigade — intend to continue the event. Expected program items: stalls with crafts and gift ideas, mulled wine and children's punch, fire pits, DJ with Christmas and pop music, angel stilt walkers, visit from Santa Claus, face painting.
The full program for the 2nd edition will be announced by the organizers in autumn 2026 via marzahn-hellersdorf.com and alles-mahlsdorf.de. The framework established by the premiere in 2025:
Mach-Mit-Kitas, BSV Eintracht Mahlsdorf, Kiezmacher CDU Wuhletal, Support Association of the Mahlsdorf Volunteer Fire Brigade.
Admission is free. Food, drinks, and goods are paid for individually on site. Face painting is free.
S-Bahn S5 to S Mahlsdorf, then about a 10-minute walk or bus 195. By car via the B1/B5, parking available in the vicinity of the sports field.
Free. Food, drinks, and goods are paid for individually on site.
Date not yet officially confirmed — likely an Advent Saturday in December 2026, similar to the 2025 date (December 20).
