Advent market in the Reinickendorf shopping centre at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz
Not every Berlin Advent market has to be located at Gendarmenmarkt or Charlottenburg Palace to fulfil its purpose. The Weihnachtsmarkt im Clou at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz in Berlin-Reinickendorf shows the other side: a pragmatic neighbourhood Advent market in and around the shopping centre “Der Clou”, which doesn't primarily attract tourists, but transforms Reinickendorf's everyday life into an Advent atmosphere.
The shopping centre Der Clou at Kurt-Schumacher-Platz 1 is one of the most important shopping centres in the northwest of Berlin. The festive Christmas decorations typically shine from the first weekend of Advent throughout the entire shopping mile, supplemented by stalls around the centre offering the classic Christmas market fare: mulled wine, pastries, roasted almonds, gift ideas, plus warm Christmas huts and atmospheric lighting.
The concept is clearly aimed at the northwest of Berlin and its families — those who come from Märkisches Viertel or Tegel for shopping can combine it directly with the Advent market. Free entry, many culinary Christmas treats at beautifully decorated stalls, children's activities with carousels and small entertainment. The combination of shopping centre visits and open-air market atmosphere is a format variation not found everywhere in Berlin — it fits Reinickendorf's everyday rhythm and makes the market a permanent, easily accessible Advent fixture.
The 2026 edition follows the family-friendly format of previous years. The exact date will be announced by the management of the Der Clou shopping centre in autumn 2026 — the 2025 edition ran from 24.11. to 30.12.2025. The format is typical for Berlin's centre-based Advent markets: not spectacular, but continuously present and integrated into the centre's daily life.
Detailed programme for 2026 will be announced via the websites of the Der Clou shopping centre. The proven programme framework:
Free admission. Food, drinks, and market goods for purchase at the respective stalls — most accept cards, small amounts often cash. Mulled wine glass with deposit.
