Berlin - Spandauer Winterland

Spandau Winterland generally refers to the entertaining fairground and carnival part of the pre-Christmas events in Berlin-Spandau, which often takes place in combination with the traditional Spandau Christmas market in the old town. While the large Christmas market enlivens the historic old town with lovingly designed huts, arts and crafts and a cultural stage programme, Winterland – formerly known as ‘Spandauer Weihnachtstraum’ (Spandau Christmas Dream) or ‘Family Wonderland’ – focuses on classic Christmas festivities.

This area, which was often located in front of Spandau Town Hall or on the former post office grounds opposite the Spandau Arcaden, attracts visitors with a range of rides and a cheerful fairground atmosphere. Visitors can look forward to spectacular rides, classic attractions such as bumper cars and carousels, as well as child-friendly offerings such as family roller coasters, a mouse circus and duck fishing. The fair is framed by typical stalls selling Christmas treats, from mulled wine and roasted almonds to hearty dishes, with the scents and lights of Winterland spreading a cheerful and lively atmosphere. It serves as an entertaining addition to the more contemplative arts and crafts and cultural market in the old town and is a popular meeting place for families and fairground fans during the dark season.
