A Berlin Wine Festival with Village Charm
In the far south of Berlin — bordering Brandenburg's Mahlow — lies the district of Lichtenrade. With its 650-year-old village center around Hermann-Wundrich-Platz and the Dorfteich (village pond), Lichtenrade is one of the few Berlin districts that clearly grew organically as a village. For over 35 years, this very setting has provided the backdrop for one of Berlin's most pleasant wine festivals: the Wein- und Winzerfest Lichtenrade.
What to Expect
- 30 Winemakers from Germany and Austria present their wines directly from tanks and barrels
- Flammkuchen, cheese specialties as typical wine festival fare
- Regional bakers and beekeepers: crispy breads, honey from Brandenburg
- Arts and Crafts: patchwork, jewelry, ceramics, scented soaps, art prints, paintings, photographs, sculptures
- Chocolatiers with handmade pralines
- Live Music: from Wäscheleinophon to Jazzpolizei — quirky Berlin band names, diverse program
- Höfische Gesellschaft Lichtenrade: historical costumes, dances, medieval crafts — fitting for the 650th district anniversary in 2026
Opening with Wine Royalty
The German Wine Princess Katharina Gräff will open the Wein- und Winzerfest on Friday with a tour of the stalls — a lovely tradition that gives the event an official start.
650 Years of Lichtenrade
The 2026 edition coincides with the district's 650th birthday — the program is accordingly expanded with historical reenactments. Lichtenrade was first mentioned in a document in 1376; the Lichtenrade village pond is one of Berlin's oldest surviving village pond ensembles.
Free Admission, Familiar Atmosphere
Unlike many commercial wine festivals, the Lichtenrade format is free of charge. Residents from Lichtenrade, Mariendorf, and Marienfelde mingle with Berliners from other districts who come for the special atmosphere. One of the most beautiful addresses in Berlin for a relaxed late-summer wine festival evening by the water.
