Medieval Christmas Market at Britz Palace

The Nordische Märchenweihnacht (Nordic Fairy Tale Christmas) at Schloss Britz transforms the historic 300-year-old manor estate into a magical medieval and Nordic-themed Christmas market. Unlike Berlin's bustling city center markets, this intimate venue offers a unique journey back to the time of knights and Vikings, organized by the Cocolorus Budenzauber traveling theatre company. Over 50 artisan vendors fill the atmospheric Gutshof Britz courtyard with handcrafted treasures, traditional costumes, and Nordic specialties. The market comes alive with enchanting performances featuring the Snow Queen and her trolls, Frau Holle, and elaborate fairy tale plays performed at the theatrical wagon, in the märchen tent, and on the open-air stage. Children can explore a medieval adventure playground complete with climbable Viking boats, try their hand at bow and crossbow shooting, axe throwing, and operate the impressive dragon hammer and wooden water wheel. The culinary offerings blend traditional Christmas treats with Nordic specialties including medieval spiced wine, hot quince mead, and Scandinavian Glögg punch, alongside hearty grilled meats and sweet delicacies. Each evening concludes with the spectacular Araga Mysteria fire show, creating an unforgettable atmosphere around flickering fire pits. With live Christmas music from Cocolorus Diaboli and detailed handcrafted decorations throughout, this market offers families an immersive historical Christmas experience. Public transportation is recommended as parking is limited at this charming Neukölln district location.
