Bernau celebrates November 11th: Jecken storms the town hall and more!

Bernau celebrates November 11th: Jecken storms the town hall and more!

On November 11, 2025, the day in Bernau begins with cloudy weather and a little rain in the morning. The maximum daily temperature will reach up to 9 degrees, which will immerse the city in a tranquil autumn atmosphere. The traffic situation also poses some challenges: the stop at Wollankstraße station will no longer be necessary until the end of the year and passengers will have to travel to Schönholz. S-Bahn users should therefore prepare well for their journey. The general renovation of the Berlin-Hamburg connection means that this route will remain closed until the end of April 2026, which means additional detours. There are traffic restrictions on the B273 between Wandlitz and Stolzenhagen until December 12th.

But despite these small hurdles, today is a very special day. At 11:11 a.m. the Bernauer Jecken stormed the town hall! It is the start of the carnival season and an event that many foolish hearts are waiting for. The story of St. Martin will also be told today at 4:30 p.m. in St. Mary's Church and culminates in the lantern parade, which begins at 5 p.m. A beautiful sight when the lights of the lanterns shine against the dusk.

Cultural life in Bernau

In addition to the festive celebrations, citizens are offered a colorful program throughout the day. The Family City Library opens its doors from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. In the family courtyard of BeSt Bernauer Stadtmarketing GmbH you can listen to and take part in the various activities from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Here, togetherness is very important.

• Im Gut Leben Landresort wird von 17:00 bis 22:00 Uhr für das leibliche Wohl gesorgt.
• Im AWO Quartier „Am Weinberg“ gibt es ebenfalls von 10:00 bis 18:00 Uhr ein spannendes Programm.
• Wer Interesse an Kunst hat, sollte die Ausstellung im Treff 23 besuchen: sie ist von 10:00 bis 18:00 Uhr geöffnet.
• Für die sportlich Interessierten finden am Abend zahlreiche Kurse in der Turnhalle Schönow und im Klub am Steintor statt.

The culmination of today's day is a concert by Meena Cryle & The Chris Fillmore Band on November 13th. This will be celebrated in the Ofenhaus from 8 p.m. A perfect reason to expand your music collection with a few new sounds.

Transport and infrastructure

There is also ongoing work on the infrastructure in Bernau. Renewals of the drinking water pipes in Kleiststrasse are currently underway until December 19th. Even if this sometimes means taking detours, it is money wisely invested for the future of the city.

Did you know that nature and the body can also help relieve pain? An exciting finding from health research shows that the body has its own mechanisms to regulate pain. Endogenous opioids can have far-reaching effects on our well-being. The potential for natural painkillers is enormous! These approaches should always be considered, especially for chronic conditions.

Overall, Bernau today offers a variety of options for spending the day in a festive atmosphere as well as for cultural exchange. Pack your lantern and be there!
