Christmas Market in Berlin on 17 December 2023
Enjoy a pleasant afternoon with the whole family and get in the mood for the upcoming festive season at the Weihnachtshaus in the Villa Donnersmarck.
This year the Weihnachtshaus (Christmas house) once again moves into Villa Donnersmarck in Zehlendorf. The Fürst Donnersmarck Foundation invites all Berliners and guests to the city to enjoy a contemplative afternoon with hands-on activities and a cultural programme.
Villa Donnersmarck is an inclusive forum for people living with a disability and other active Berliners. Everyone is welcome here. The villa was opened in 1962 by the Fürst Donnersmarck Foundation and today offers leisure activities in inclusive groups as well as educational and counselling opportunities in Zehlendorf.
Of note in the Weihnachtshaus in the Villa Donnersmarck: the lovingly made gift ideas, such as handicrafts, jewellery, children’s toys and much more, are all made in Berlin workshops for people with disabilities or by the handicraft groups of the Villa Donnersmarck. You will discover unique Christmas gifts and in so doing support the social institutions.
For those wanting a bite to eat, the villa offers coffee and homemade cakes, soups, roasted almonds and other delicacies. Make sure to try the mulled wine and punch too. You can also bake your own bread at various fire baskets.
If you would like to get creative yourself, then you can let off steam by taking part in the hands-on activities for both young and old. Make personal Christmas cards or decorate gingerbread houses with all kinds of sweet treats. You can also play games at the games station or explore the house on a puzzle tour. Fun for the whole family!
Christmas music from the glass grand piano and a contemplative cultural programme with Christmas choir and tower trumpeters round off the festive programme in the Weihnachtshaus.
After your visit to the Weihnachtshaus in der Villa Donnersmarck take a look at the Museumsdorf Düppel or the Botanic Garden.
The Weihnachtshaus in der Villa Donnersmarck is wheelchair-accessible.
Villa Donnersmarck is located in Zehlendorf in the district of Steglitz-Zehlendorf in the south-west of Berlin. We recommend travelling by public transport.
