Atmospherically lit façades, international specialities and high-quality handicrafts. From Nov 19. 2025, visitors will once again be able to experience a winter market on Schlossplatz in Berlin-Mitte, featuring classics such as roasted almonds, Baumstritzel, Feuerzangenbowle and various gift items.
This makes the Schloßplatz a new meeting point and attraction where you can enjoy the end of the year with friends or family with a view of the Lustgarten, the Museum Island and the Berlin Cathedral. Visitors can also expect further highlights in the Schlüterhof of the Humboldt Forum.
The animations, elaborately produced using video mapping, create a special atmosphere. The projections are designed especially for this location and artistically dynamize the baroque facades in the Schlüterhof and around the Schlossplatz. The well-known illumination technology company Boehlke, which has already artistically illuminated many of the city's landmarks, including for the Festival of Lights, created the light installations for this.
The winter market offers a daily changing program with offers especially for children and families. Company celebrations with mulled wine and vegan food can also be booked.
Entry is free!
