Ceramics at the Lake: The Pottery Market Dießen enchants on the shores of Ammersee
Between the lakeside gardens and the lakeside road, a genuine market atmosphere unfolds from May 14 to May 17, 2026: About 170 ceramic artists from eleven countries present handmade unique pieces, sculptures, and functional ceramics – right by the water, with a view of steamers and the Alps.
Regional Diversity and International Top Ceramics
The lakeside gardens transform into an open gallery for four days. Visitors experience a shopping adventure with colors, shapes, and surfaces: matte engobes, glazed stoneware, fine porcelain, salt- and wood-fired series. Many exhibitors are direct marketers and personally advise on materials, firing processes, and care.
Craftsmanship to Touch
Close to throwing, decorating, and glazing: Demonstrations and discussions provide insight into expertise, quality features, and craftsmanship traditions. Highlights include the ceramic prize and curated exhibitions in the Traidtcasten and the pigeon tower – a compass for collectors and newcomers.
Sensory Impressions by the Shore
Warm clay colors, cool lake, scent of wood fire – here, design meets nature. Between the lakeshore, trees, and stands, a relaxed strolling market with short paths and many seating options emerges.
Opening Hours, Location, Access
Open daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The event takes place in the lakeside gardens on the lakeside road in 86911 Dießen am Ammersee. It is recommended to travel by shuttle bus from the special parking area at the northern entrance; the parking ticket costs 7 euros and includes the transfer.
Service Tips for Your Market Visit
Free admission. Arriving early ensures relaxed browsing. Pay attention to the weather: The market takes place outdoors. For purchases, a sturdy bag is advisable; some stands package fragile items securely for transport. Plan to bring cash, as card payments may not be available at all stands.
