Berliner Glühwald
Christmas Market in Berlin from 4 November 2023
The Christmas market at Mercedes Benz Platz offers enough space for indoors and outdoors. The cosy atmosphere is underlined by the smell of woods and open fires and all kinds of hot drinks.
Once a wasteland with rotten storage sheds, office ruins and disused railway tracks, Mercedes Benz Platz will become a lively urban quarter in the coming years. Directly opposite the East Side Gallery, the square has been greened and illuminated and, together with the Mercedes Benz Arena, has become increasingly attractive as a venue for events.
Wide range of culinary delights
The spacious area in front of the Mercedes Benz Arena now enjoys a very special magic in the run-up to Christmas. A wide variety of hot drinks and, of course, culinary pre-Christmas dishes await you in the Glühwald. The cosy atmosphere created by the covered and heated mangers is rounded off by a Christmas decoration and lighting concept and suitable music.
Tip: Plan your Christmas evening programme now
