Weihnachtsmarkt Winterfeldtplatz

A Schöneberg Kiez Market with its Own Tradition

On Saturdays, Winterfeldtplatz hosts one of Berlin's largest and most popular weekly markets. However, during Advent, the Christmas market takes over – on all four Advent Sundays. This makes the Winterfeldtplatz market an unusual format: not two weeks of continuous operation, but a full-fledged family market for four Sundays with a compact schedule (11 a.m. to 7 p.m.).

What's Available

For families: Carousel, petting zoo, stick bread baking at the campfire, face painting booth. For adults: Mulled wine, honey wine, mead, bratwurst, potato pancakes, roasted almonds, candied apples, waffles, cotton candy. Market stalls offer crafts – wooden toys, ceramics, jewelry, scented soaps, Advent decorations. The decorated stage features a daily changing music and arts program: brass bands, choirs, storytelling for children, small concerts.

Schöneberg and Winterfeldtplatz

Winterfeldtplatz is located in the Schöneberg Kiez between Bayerisches Viertel and Nollendorfplatz. The neighborhood has always been mixed: bourgeois, queer (the old Schöneberg gay district around Nollendorfplatz is only 5 minutes away), family-oriented. The market attracts residents from Schöneberg, Wilmersdorf, and Tiergarten, as well as Berliners from all over the city who know the market as a classic.

An Association That Cultivates Tradition

The organizer is the Berliner Schausteller Verband (Berlin Showmen's Association) – a traditional professional association that organizes several Berlin Advent markets. The Winterfeldtplatz market is one of its oldest formats. Stall fees are deliberately kept moderate, attracting many smaller exhibitors.
