Melting pot of the cultural scene
Set on the site of a small 19th century brewery, this is now one of the most attractive sites for multifaceted events in Berlin. The site, under national trust protection, contains six linked courtyards and over 20 buildings, used by creative artists for a wide range of cultural happenings, from parties to theatrical performances to cinematic and gastronomic events.
The complex was extensively refurbished in the 1990s and extends to 25,000 square metres. The original usage of the individual brewery buildings can still be seen from the inscriptions preserved on the brick walls. The boiler house and powerhouse are now used for live concerts.
The Frannz Club, opened in the 1970s. Offers a daily party programme for night owls and has its own restaurant on the site. Others include the SODA club, the Alte Kantine and the Palais. The varied entertainment programme also includes the cinema, the RambaZamba theatre and the Russian theatre.
In addition to all these cultural experiences offered by the individual organisations on the site, the Kulturbrauerei itself serves as a colourful backdrop for numerous events. The courtyards are particularly suitable for open-air events, such as the Lucia Christmas market in December, the Lagerfeuer at Halloween and the Klassik Open Air in August. Larger parties and events spread over the entire complex.
