The Holländisches Viertel as a Market Backdrop

The Holländisches Viertel in Potsdam is one of the state capital's most iconic landmarks: 134 two-story brick houses from the 18th century, built in the Dutch style under Frederick William I for Dutch craftsmen. Today, it is home to galleries, cafés, boutiques, and workshops—and on the last weekend of August, the quarter turns into a grand pottery market known as Töpfer Ton & Töne.

Pottery with Ambition

The Pottery and Craft Market brings together around 100 ceramicists and artisans from across Germany and Central Europe along Mittelstraße and Benkertstraße. The selection ranges from traditional pottery and artistic ceramics to innovative design, including vessels, tableware, sculptures, porcelain, and jewelry.

More Than Just a Market

The event blends traditional pottery, artistic ceramics, and innovative design. Visitors can stroll through the quarter, shop, watch demonstrations, and soak up the cultural atmosphere.

Gastronomy and Café Culture

The Holländisches Viertel is one of Potsdam's café hotspots. During the market, local cafés and restaurants expand their outdoor seating and offer special regional treats. From sauerkraut fries and Dutch cakes to Brandenburg beer, the mix of tradition and cultural buzz is part of the charm.

Potsdam and Brandenburg

This pottery market is one of the most significant craft events in the state of Brandenburg. Unlike Christmas markets, it caters to an audience passionate about craftsmanship, materials, and form—collectors, designers, and homeowners alike. Set within the UNESCO World Heritage context of Potsdam, it is a must-attend date for ceramics enthusiasts from all over Germany.
