Neuruppin celebrates Martinimarkt: 150,000 visitors despite the rain!
The Neuruppin Martinimarkt once again attracted numerous visitors this year. Almost 150,000 guests flocked to the big festival, which has established itself as the largest fair between Berlin and the Baltic Sea. However, this impressive number is slightly lower than last year, which could be due, among other things, to the fact that the market took place one day shorter this year than in 2024. The rain on the first weekend in November could also have played a role, as Saturday was particularly affected, according to organizer Christian Ringleb from Neuruppiner Inkom.
Despite these small declines, Ringleb draws a positive conclusion: “We are very satisfied with the number of visitors.” With a few exceptions, the market itself was peaceful. To ensure safety, a sophisticated security concept was implemented that included mobile barriers and oversized concrete Lego bricks to block driveways.
Call for tenders started for 2026
Preparations for the next edition are already in full swing. The call for tenders for the Martinimarkt 2026 has started, and dealers and showmen can apply until January 15th. The 370th Neuruppin Martinimarkt will take place from October 30th to November 8th, 2026 and will certainly once again be a highlight in the region's event calendar. The showmen's spokesman, Marco Welte, is also optimistic about the market's progress and is confident about the coming years.
Also an interesting aspect is the use of wood chips collected during the market. These find their new purpose in the heating plant at the Seedamm, where they are burned. A consistent step towards sustainable event design that reduces the market's ecological footprint.
The Neuruppin Martinimarkt remains not only a place to celebrate and linger, but also an example of how traditional festivals can be in harmony with modern safety and sustainability requirements. We can't wait to see what the future holds for this popular market!
