Advent Market Berlin

The Advent Market at the Evangelical Johannesstift in Berlin is a unique event that traditionally takes place on the first Sunday of Advent each year. This festival begins with a contemplative Advent service in the Stiftskirche, where the symbolic Wichern Advent wreath is lit. This opening marks the beginning of a time of reflection and community gathering.

The grounds of the Evangelical Johannesstift transform into a festive setting with numerous, lovingly decorated stalls. These market stalls, which extend around the church, offer a variety of products: from handicrafts and homemade items to books and gift articles.

In addition to the shopping experience, the Advent Market offers a rich cultural program. Musical groups with wind instruments and choirs spread Christmas cheer with their performances of Christmas carols. A special highlight for the children is the visit of Saint Nicholas, where they can submit their wish lists and get creative in crafting activities. An exhibition illustrates various Christian traditions of the Christmas season and invites reflection. The physical well-being of visitors is well catered for. Culinary delights such as bratwurst, vegetarian dishes, waffles, and mulled wine invite people to linger and enjoy.

The best way to travel to the Advent Market is by public transport, as parking options are limited. This also contributes to the market's sustainable and environmentally friendly concept.
