CENTRE FESTIVAL 2025
The Stiftung Mitte Berlin (SMB) and Berlin's civic associations invite you to MITTE-FEST 2025 – a special cultural weekend in the heart of Berlin.
To mark Open Monument Day, the SMB will be celebrating at the Parochialkirche Berlin, Klosterstraße 67, on Friday and Saturday, 12 and 13 September, with a varied programme focusing on the city's history, monument preservation and the future of Berlin's Mitte district.
The patron is General Music Director Christian Thielemann.
Guests can look forward to free city tours, the exhibition ‘Mitte für Anfänger’ (Mitte for Beginners), lectures, live music and sing-alongs, inexpensive food and drinks, discussions and encounters – with Prof. Dr. Martina Abri (conservationist of Berlin's Schinkel buildings), Prof. Dr. Wilhelm Schmid (philosopher and author), Dr Benedikt Goebel (urban researcher) and many more.
The highlight on Saturday evening is the lecture ‘Finding a home in the city’ and the subsequent philosophical discussion with Wilhelm Schmid.
