Rübezahl am Müggelsee

Rübezahl am Müggelsee offers its goose as a complete package, which includes not only the goose but also all side dishes and a bottle of red wine. Orders are placed via email with advance payment and picked up during the Christmas holidays. The order deadline is November 30th, significantly earlier than most other providers in the city.

Goose to Go from Rübezahl am Müggelsee: a complete package for four people

Rübezahl is located on Müggelheimer Damm in the forest directly on Lake Müggelsee, in a nature reserve and with its own boat landing stage. The establishment is primarily known as an excursion restaurant with a terrace over the water, a beer garden, and a bistro; in winter, a campfire with its own mulled wine and an ice rink are added. For the festive season, the establishment puts together a goose package that works differently from most offers, as there is only one variant and it is complete. For 169 Euros, a whole crispy goose weighing 5.5 kilograms fresh for four people comes in the box, along with sauce, red cabbage, kale, dumplings, and a bottle of red wine. Those who prefer duck can get a duck package for the same price with two whole ducks, each weighing 2.1 kilograms, and the same side dishes. This compilation saves the thought of what’s missing, because nothing is missing.

Picking up your Goose Package in Köpenick: Order deadline, dates, and shelf life

The biggest difference from other providers lies in the timeline. While many establishments accept orders until shortly before Christmas, Rübezahl am Müggelsee sets the deadline at November 30, 2026. Anyone who inquires after that will be out of luck, which, for an establishment of this size, is related to the planning of raw materials. Orders are placed via email to the event team or using the inquiry form, and payment is made in advance. Pick-up is during the Christmas holidays from December 23 to December 26, 2026; the establishment does not offer delivery. The roast and side dishes keep for several days when refrigerated, so the pick-up date does not have to be on the day of the meal. For those living in the southeast of the city, the journey is short, and anyone planning a walk by Lake Müggelsee can combine both. This is particularly practical for larger groups who no longer have time for shopping on the holiday itself. If you want to play it safe, register in November, because after the order deadline, the establishment will not accept any more packages.
