Christmas market at the Bröhan Museum

Christmas in the neighbourhood

In the courtyard of the Bröhan Museum the neighbours meet for a merry get-together, organised by the "Kiezbündnis Klausenerplatz e.V. (Klausenerplatz neighbourhood alliance)".
The traders at the 40 or so stands are specially selected for the cosy Christmas market, with priority given to local suppliers from the neighbourhood and their products. The market is less geared towards commercialism and more towards the community of people of all generations in the neighbourhood.
So you are sure to find that special souvenir: high-quality craftsmanship and beautiful art, homemade gifts and pretty Christmas decorations. Everything you see at the stands is lovingly handcrafted.

Entertainment programme at the Christmas market

On the festively decorated stage, schools, dance clubs and nurseries sing songs, act out plays and give readings for visitors to the Christmas market.
To whet your appetite there is mulled wine, fried sausages, crispy bread as well as coffee, snacks from the neighbourhood and homemade cakes. Children's punch and cocoa for the little ones as well as mulled wine, coffee – with or without a shot – and honey mead for the grown-ups must not be missed out on.

Art Nouveau and Art Deco: The Brohän Museum

The Bröhan Museum exhibits art, crafts and furniture from Art Nouveau, Art Deco and Functionalism between 1880 and 1940. You can visit entire suites of rooms with furniture and decorative elements from the playful Art Nouveau and look at vases and coffee services in the style of the simpler Art Deco and Functionalism. One room is dedicated to the works of the Berlin Secessionists, here you will find works by Lesser Ury and Walter Leistikow.

Our tips for your visit to the Christmas market at the Bröhan Museum

Combine a visit to the Christmas market with a visit to a museum .
Right next to the Bröhan Museum is the Berggruen Museum with a selected collection of classical modern art with paintings by Picasso, Cézanne and Klee. You can immerse yourself further in the art of surrealism in the Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection opposite.
Learn more about life in the neighbourhood and the history of the borough in the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf Museum in the historic Villa Oppermann.
If you are in the Christmas mood, a visit to the romantic Christmas market at Charlottenburg Palace is worthwhile.
And above all you should make sure to visit Charlottenburg Palace. The palace, with its magnificent suites of rooms and halls, is the largest and one of the most impressive palaces in Berlin. When it has snowed, the baroque park transforms into an enchanted winter wonderland – perfect for a long walk.
