The Historical Christmas at the RAW Compound 2026 turns the 150-year-old RAW grounds in Berlin-Friedrichshain into a medieval Christmas market from mid-November until just before Christmas. Torches, fire pits and craft stalls bathe the site in warm light.

Highlights:

• potters, smiths and woodcarvers instead of plastic Christmas kitsch
• jesters and acrobats among the stalls
• mead, Feuerzangenbowle and hearty food
• hand-powered Ferris wheel, wooden carousel and troll forest for children
• 12 November to 22 December 2026 (free admission on Mondays)
