92. Siedlerfest Marienfelde

Berlin in the South, Almost 100 Years of Tradition

Marienfelde is one of the Berlin districts where the GDR past and Berlin's pre-war history are particularly visible – through the former Marienfelde reception center, which was the initial reception point for GDR resettlers for decades, and through the residential settlement founded in 1930 on the outskirts in the south of the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. The Siedlerfest Marienfelde has been the annual gathering of the outer settlement since the 1930s – celebrated on the festival grounds at Reinstedter Weg, corner of Meisdorfer Pfad. The 92nd edition in 2026 thus dates back to the pre-war era.

Three Days of Folk Festival with Berlin Charm

From August 21 to 23, 2026, the festival runs for three days:

• Friday, August 21 – from 3:00 PM: Festival opening, kickoff with stage program and Schlager party in the evening
• Saturday, August 22 – 2:00 PM–10:00 PM: Full operation with live concerts by confirmed bands She's The Boss and Volxroxx, DJ sets by DJ Hauffi, face painting, rides, and food stalls
• Sunday, August 23 – from 10:00 AM: Grand Weißwurst breakfast as the highlight of the family day, with a family program, children's entertainment, and fairground rides until the late afternoon

The Siedlergemeinschaft as the Organizer

Behind the festival is the Siedlergemeinschaft Stadtrandsiedlung Marienfelde II/III e.V. – the traditional neighborhood association of the residential settlement. For years, the operational execution has been handled by Wollenschlaeger Event GmbH, a Berlin-based showman company experienced in organizing folk festivals and medieval markets. This combination of genuine neighborhood anchoring and professional event logistics defines the character of the festival – not a mega folk festival, but a classic district festival with real local ties.

Classic Berlin Folk Festival Mix

The program follows the proven Berlin folk festival dramaturgy: fairground rides (carousels, children's roller coaster, smaller adrenaline rides for older children and adults), snack stands with Bratwurst, fries, crêpes, sweets, and drinks, a stage with a daily changing program of Schlager, rock covers, and DJ sets, plus hands-on activities for children. The Weißwurst breakfast on Sunday is a Marienfelde trademark – a Bavarian tradition rarely celebrated in Berlin, thus gaining even more charm.
