Eberswalde christmas market

01.12.-10.12.2023

The Christmas market on the market square is without exaggeration one of the most beautiful Christmas markets in Brandenburg. Romantic and quiet, it lies in the heart of the city - surrounded by colourful little huts, filled with Christmas scents like burning wood, fir greenery, gingerbread and mulled wine. 

On the Friday before the first Advent, she, the Snow Queen in her glittering robe, appears at the entrance to the Christmas market. The traditional cutting of stollen is just as much a part of it as immersing yourself in an atmospheric ambience.  The offerings you will find at the stalls are lovingly made by industrious hands. In addition to handicrafts, baked goods, jams, Christmas decorations and gift articles, you will find offers for children to dream about and participate in.  Clubs, choirs, musicians and many small and large helpers contribute to the success of our Christmas market.

The Magic of Christmas in Potsdam

Discovering the history of Potsdam at several Christmas Markets 
 
Christmas in Potsdam has a special charm all of its own. Advent delicacies glimpsed between 18th century weavers’ houses, horse-drawn sleigh trips on the Crown Estate of Bornstedt, traditional handicrafts in the Dutch Quarter. In Potsdam the Christmas markets are cleverly interwoven with history and the various historic backdrops. 
 
The Nowawes Colony for Bohemian weavers was set up under Frederick the Great. This is where, in what is the present-day district of Babelsberg, visitors will find the Bohemian Christmas Market with its traditional handicrafts and typical Advent treats, tucked away among a charming cluster of weavers’ houses dating back to the 18th century. There is an opening event with the christal fairy and a long mulled wine night. Opening times: 01.-10.12., fridays 5: pm until 10: p.m, saturdays, 11: am until 10: pm and sundays 11: am until 6: pm.
 
On the second weekend of Advent, the Potsdam Sternenmarkt will take place in the courtyard of the Coach House on the Neuer Markt in Potsdam’s historic city centre. Over the period when this Christmas encounter with Poland takes place, traders representing our neighbours to the east will be plying their wares in the form of handicrafts and specialities.
