Berlin leuchtet, one of two illumination festivals in October, transforms many lesser known yet significant buildings all over the town with coloured light.

Berlin leuchtet, "Berlin illuminated" in English, stages historic houses, shopping malls, train stations, bridges and even some public parks with light installations and laser, video and 3D projections. A range of musical and artistic performances, fireworks and guided tours for visitors round off and enhance the unusual visual experience.

Lifting the mood with colourful illuminations

Berlin leuchtet was created by some of the initiators of the Festival of Lights and has since managed to make its mark. While the Festival of Lights illuminates some of the most famous monuments and sights in the city centre, Berlin leuchtet focuses on less prominent architectural structures all over town. All lit up they, they add some brightness to the beginning of the dark season.

Illuminated buildings at the light festival

«Berlin leuchtet» illuminates around 30 buildings in 2021. The following places will be illuminated this year (selection): Friedrichstadtpalast, Siegessäule, Oberbaumbrücke, Gendarmenmarkt, Funkturm, Brandenburger Tor, Gedächtniskirche, Schloss Britz and Nikolaiviertel.
