And the Ballhaus’s programme of events covers it all: from theatre productions, performances and concerts to exhibitions and discussion events, there’s plenty to keep you entertained every day of the week. The Ballhaus places particular emphasis on its international focus. Artists from all over the world, with diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds ,find a stagehere that offers space for new perspectives. The theatre aims not only to entertain, but also to spark discussions, facilitate encounters and highlight the city’s social diversity.

The venue’s history is also closely linked to Berlin. The Ballhaus was established in 1903 as the ballroom of a restaurant and developed into a cultural hub for the Wedding district. Over the decades, it has served, amongst other things, as a meeting place, a variety theatre, a nightclub and a theatre. Today, the Ballhaus Prinzenallee is a venue for artistic diversity and intercultural dialogue, renowned far beyond the district’s borders.
