An event venue for 1,500 people in Berlin: ground on the AEG site, not in the hall
1,500 people stand in the open air on the AEG grounds, on a site inside up to 5,000 square metres. The main hall holds about 600 standing. In the rain about 900 have no roof. 1,500 is not permission for 5,000, and the rooms are not added.
In short
An event venue for 1,500 people in Berlin is open air on the AEG grounds. The hall is not a rain plan for that number. Cantinerie stands in Gesundbrunnen, in Mitte. The main hall holds about 400 seated and about 600 standing. The terrace holds about 500. Open air runs to about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. The rooms are not added.
Place
Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25 in Gesundbrunnen, Berlin-Mitte
1,500 people are a piece of ground on the AEG site, not a room and not the terrace at about 500. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. The borough is Mitte, the locality is Gesundbrunnen, Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25.
The address is Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, building 17, on the ground floor. The borough is Mitte and the locality is Gesundbrunnen. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address. U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are close. We do not invent minutes for them.
Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station. The walk-through starts at the gate, not at a photograph of the room.
The bookable open air is set out on the open-air event page.
Number
1,500 people in Gesundbrunnen: the figure from the walk-through
The main hall holds about 600 standing and about 400 seated. 1,500 minus that standing hour stay outdoors. The outdoor guide of the site runs to about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. For 1,500 people the seated ceiling of the main hall stays at about 400, on more than 600 square metres. A stage, a dance floor or an aisle lowers that guide. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance.
1,500 is not permission to admit 5,000, and it is not the sum of hall, terrace and yard. Philosophia does not fill this number up. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to 1,500 people. An arrival there is another chapter.
Rooms
Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together
Philosophia stays with production or with a small circle. It is not a fourth block used to make 1,500 look complete. The rooms are not added for 1,500 people. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.
The main hall is more than 600 square metres and holds about 400 guests seated and about 600 standing. About 600 is the standing hour, not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 for a banquet. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 200 in a row and about 100 at banquet tables.
On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. Those figures are not added together. Every figure is a guide, not a blanket clearance. Add the rooms and you are describing a house we do not let.
Running order
Running order for 1,500 people on the AEG grounds
Build and event are two days when a stage and the routes need the ground. The drawing names aisles and bars, not only a headcount. Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens.
Service follows the routes of the crowd, not an aisle in the hall. One producer holds the kitchen and the ground. A second trade at the gate is the conflict. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For 1,500 people it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.
Weather
Rain and 1,500 people: terrace, hall, AEG grounds
A rain plan that sends 1,500 into the hall is wrong. About 900 people would have no roof. The date depends on the weather, or the named part of the crowd is smaller. About 600 applies only as a standing hour. It is not a row of chairs. A row or a parliament layout in the main hall is on request and does not replace the format named here.
Philosophia stays with production or with a small circle. It is not a fourth block used to make 1,500 look complete. On the AEG grounds, open air runs to about 5,000 people across up to 5,000 square metres. That is its own format. It is not a silent cushion under 1,500 people.
Production
Kitchen and sound for 1,500 people on the AEG grounds
Service follows the routes of the crowd, not an aisle in the hall. One producer holds the kitchen and the ground. A second trade at the gate is the conflict. Building 17 is on the ground floor and is fully accessible. S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. From Hauptbahnhof the journey by train and on foot is about 30 minutes. Guests check railway lifts themselves.
Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. Philosophia can stay with production and out of the guest count.
One producer holds the kitchen and the running order. Guests see the room this format actually needs. Radios stay behind the line from the walk-through.
Arrival
Building 17, step-free, ten minutes from Humboldthain
1,500 people come in waves. The footpath from Humboldthain is named in the invitation as the station, not as a single stream through one gate. Parking on the grounds carries the build. It does not replace the footpath when many people arrive in the same minute. The invitation names the station.
Building 17 is on the ground floor. The entrance is step-free and the venue is fully accessible. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Guests check railway lifts themselves. We do not promise the state of a lift that evening.
Walk-through
Walk-through in Gesundbrunnen for 1,500 people
1,500 people are a piece of ground on the AEG site, not a room and not the terrace at about 500. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. The open kitchen of the house stays the kitchen.
Build and event are two days when a stage and the routes need the ground. The drawing names aisles and bars, not only a headcount. The rooms are not added for 1,500 people. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.
1,500 is not permission to admit 5,000, and it is not the sum of hall, terrace and yard. Philosophia does not fill this number up. Catering, the bar, sound and light stay with Cantinerie. A second trade crossing the courtyard is not the plan. The rehearsal sits before the gate opens.
