Pride Wintermarkt im ehemaligen Frauengefängnis

Christmas market on the first two Advent weekends in Berlin

Built in 1906, the women's prison in Lichterfelde is always happy to host events for the LGBTQ+ community. Against the gloomy backdrop of the former prison, diversity and freedom shine in all the more colourful colours.

Creative gift items from queer artists

During the Christmas season, queer artists present and sell their works here. The themes and motifs are as diverse as the queer community itself and range from landscape paintings to nudes.
Hungry stomachs will find plenty of opportunities to refuel at the winter market.
