26 Years of Pottery Market Bad Bevensen

The Bad Bevensen Pottery Market is one of the most established events of its kind in Northern Germany. With 26 editions, the market boasts exceptional continuity and has established itself as an important platform in the German pottery scene. Potters from all over Germany travel to Bad Bevensen every year — an indication of the market's quality and significance.

Bad Bevensen Spa Park as the Market Area

The Bad Bevensen Spa Park is one of the most beautiful park areas in the Lüneburg Heath region. With old trees, well-maintained grounds, and Göhrdestraße as the access, it offers an atmospheric market area. The potteries set up their stalls against the backdrop of the park — ceramics in a green environment create a special visual effect.

Approx. 50 Potteries from All Over Germany

The exhibitor list includes around 50 potteries from all over Germany. Northern German ceramic traditions from the Heath region, the Berlin pottery scene, Hessian ceramic traditions, South German workshops, and the Central German pottery strongholds are regularly represented. The diversity of the represented regions provides a representative overview of contemporary German ceramics.

Ceramics in Full Variety

The spectrum of ceramics presented is remarkable. Functional ceramics such as dishes, vases, bowls, cups, and jugs are part of the core assortment. Artistic ceramics in sculptural forms, abstract pieces, and experimental glazes showcase the art aspect. Garden ceramics such as pots, sculptures, and fountain elements complement the offerings for outdoor spaces. Specialties like salt-fired ceramics, Raku firing, and other historical firing methods expand the spectrum.

Sunday 11 am - 5 pm

The compact Sunday opening hours from 11 am to 5 pm make the market a classic Sunday format. Those who arrive early have the best selection. The exhibitors are present in person and offer advice on their materials, techniques, and pieces.

Direct Contact with Craftspeople

A strength of pottery markets is the direct contact between customers and potters. The stories of the workshops, explanations about clay types, glazes, and firing processes, tips on care and use of the ceramics — all this makes the pottery market more than just an occasion to buy.
