Disclaimer: Some of these Christmas markets are officially described as "Adventsmarkt." It is possible that I have or will confused which is which.

It's a square with a French church on one side (the French protestants were invited to Berlin when the Catholics kicked them out of France at some point in history. The French also invented the Berliner Weisse, which makes so much more sense than a German coming up with such a sweet drink.), a marginally larger and taller but otherwise identical German church directly across from it and a concert house in the middle. The Weihnachtsmarkt was set up in this square. Here are some pictures:
