Medieval Market Begegnungshof Krielow

Medieval Market with Farm Character

The Begegnungshof in Krielow is located in the municipality of Groß Kreutz (Havel) in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district, a few kilometers west of Potsdam. The former four-sided farm ensemble has been a venue with its own unique character for years: small, curated markets, family formats, campfires, and cultural evenings shape the annual calendar. The medieval market in spring is one of the farm's most popular formats.

Archery, Theatre, and Fire Show

The program combines classic medieval market elements with family-friendly attractions: archery for children and adults, a treasure hunt across the farm grounds, improvisation theatre between the market stalls, live music in medieval styles, and a fire show as the evening highlight. A special performance, "Saaremaa — through times and worlds," guides the audience through various historical eras.

Family Program and Bouncy Castle

Specially for the younger guests, there are pony rides, a bouncy castle, and hands-on workshops. The tavern provides food and drinks — from lard bread and soups to mead and elderflower cordial. Those who arrive in costume receive free admission — an invitation that draws numerous visitors in costume to the festival grounds every year.

Prices and Opening Hours

Admission is deliberately kept affordable: €3 for adults, €2 for children, €5 for a 2-day pass, and €8 for the family ticket. Costumed guests have free admission. Opening hours are Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 6 pm.

Groß Kreutz and the Havelland

Groß Kreutz (Havel) in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district is part of the Havelland cultural landscape — characterized by river landscapes, avenues, castles, and small farms. The Begegnungshof Krielow is one of the charming excursion destinations on the outskirts of Potsdam, combining farm charm with sophisticated cultural work.
