EUROPEAN DAYS OF ARTS AND CRAFTS - Market at Ludwig-Beck-Platz

Around the striking coat of arms fountain on Ludwig-Beck-Platz, visitors can experience the distinctive style of the regional crafts and creative scene.

During the EUROPEAN DAYS OF CRAFTS, creative individuals across Europe open their workshops, shops, and studios, offering visitors a glimpse behind the scenes. There are virtually no limits to their imagination and dexterity.

Using wood, fabric, felt, wire, ceramics, porcelain, glass, canvas, leather, wool, concrete, or paper, they create practical and beautiful, surprisingly elegant, or ingeniously superfluous pieces, all of which have one thing in common: they are original.

What awaits visitors at the ETAK market between Moltkestrasse and Augustastrasse reads like a who's who of the regional arts and crafts scene.

ETAK in Berlin

The European Days of Crafts – ETAK for short – take place simultaneously every year at the beginning of April in 24 European countries. In 2014, the Berlin Chamber of Skilled Crafts brought ETAK to the German capital for the first time. Since then, ETAK has become an integral part of the creative and cultural life of the city and continues to grow in popularity each year. In Berlin, visitors of all ages now have the opportunity for the eleventh time to experience the distinctive style of the regional creative scene.

About the European Days of Crafts

The aim of ETAK is to bring the diverse and important economic sector of arts and crafts/design closer to the general public and to strengthen it through increased awareness, attracting new customer groups, and networking. The initiative originated in 2002 with the French Ministry of Crafts.
