The romantic world of the Lucia Christmas Market invites you to the Kulturbrauerei for the ninth time in the year 2009.
The �Lucia Christmas Market� takes place in the outdoor space in the two courtyards of the Kulturbrauerei in Berlin�s Prenzlauer Berg district.
The Kulturbrauerei, an area of 25,000 m�, with its lovely ensemble of 20 buildings and six courtyards, is situated between Sch�nhauser Allee, Knaack, Sredzki and Danziger Stra�es. The buildings are all connected � creating a brick wall with chimneys and distinctive towers in the corners.

It offers a daily cultural program for everbody, on weekend afternoons for kids and invites the grown-ups to meet for a hot mulled red (and white) wine �Gl�hwein or Gl�g�.
