Schwerin is having a festival: Martensmarkt and the mayor are on trend!
November 6th, 2025 is all about the Martensmarkt in Schwerin. While preparations for this traditional festival are in full swing, the news from the mayor of Schwerin is already on the table. In his “announcements” for the city council, which meets on November 10th, exciting program items are listed that are planned for the coming days. The Martensmarkt, a festival that has symbolized the friendship between Schwerin and Lübeck for over 700 years, opens on November 7th, 2025. In keeping with the style of the festival, you can look forward to the Martensmann feast on November 8th and the reception of the Martensmann's carriage on November 9th. In the midst of this festive atmosphere, a memorial service for November 9, 1938 will also be held, which will incorporate the historical context.
As Schwerin.news reports, the mayor shows himself in a particularly proactive light by presenting the messages in a format that is more reminiscent of an outlook, although they are designed as a review. One could say he is in “fast forward” mode as he describes future events as if they had already happened. Although it gives the impression that he is way ahead of his time, this does not necessarily reflect a political plan, but rather an unconventional approach to communication.
The Martensmarkt: A festival with tradition
What makes Martensmarkt so special? The three-day festival combines medieval customs with modern customs and attracts numerous visitors to the city. The rituals, such as the lantern walking and the ritual discussion between Martensmann and the mayor, transport those present to times gone by. The lively atmosphere is accompanied by music and cabaret, making the event an experience for all the senses. The friendship between Lübeck and Schwerin is not only celebrated, but also maintained by building on traditions that date back to the 14th century and were brought to life with new energy in 1991.
The festival offers free entry, which is why it has become a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. If you are planning to visit Schwerin, you can call the TOURIST-INFORMATION on +49 (0) 385 5925212 to find out about accommodation or organize travel by car or train. Parking is also available in the city center, so nothing stands in the way of a relaxing stay.
