370 years of market tradition in the heart of Neuruppin

Martinimarkt is one of Brandenburg’s best-known autumn funfairs. Its history dates back to 1656. Today, centuries-old fairground traditions meet modern showman technology along the festival mile. According to the city, more than a million LED lights create the characteristic atmosphere, especially after dark. Unlike a fair held on an out-of-the-way site, this funfair takes place right in the city centre. You can combine a ride with a stroll among the many game stalls and food outlets.

Opening times and family day

The opening time is 14 o’clock on all ten days of the event. On Fridays and Saturdays, the funfair stays open until midnight; from Sunday, 1 November, to Thursday, 5 November, it is open until 22 o’clock. On the closing Sunday, 8 November, it closes earlier, at 20 o’clock. To keep the overview concise, days with the same times are grouped together in the opening times schedule. On family day, you can look out for special offers for children. The voucher days are also a good reason to visit during the week.

Roasted almonds, langos and other treats

The experience includes a variety of food stalls alongside the rides. The city has announced langos, Krakauer sausages, crêpes, mushrooms, burgers and hot dogs, among other things. This year’s offering also includes pasta and empanadas. For something sweet, you can find lard pastries, candyfloss, churros and candied fruit, for example. It’s best to allow yourself a little time to browse between the stalls. Cash is recommended, as card payments may not be available at every stall.

Getting there and tips for your visit

Neuruppin’s Martinimarkt stretches along Karl-Marx-Straße from Schulplatz to Bernhard-Brasch-Platz. You can reach the city centre by train via Neuruppin West and Rheinsberger Tor stations. If you are travelling by car, you should check local road closures and how full the car parks are. There are several shops and cash machines nearby. If you are visiting with young children, ear protection and breaks away from the noisier rides are a good idea. You can find more details in the official announcement by the town of Neuruppin and on the city marketing website.
