The wide outdoor ground and terrace on the Cantinerie AEG site

Journal · 3,000 people

An event venue for 3,000 people in Berlin, across up to 5,000 square metres

Three thousand people here are an open-air format on the AEG grounds, not a hall and not the sum of several rooms. The site runs up to 5,000 square metres, and the outdoor guide runs to about 5,000 people. 3,000 sits under that and stays a drawing, not a headline.

In short

An event venue for 3,000 people in Berlin carries that number only outdoors on the AEG grounds. Cantinerie stands in Gesundbrunnen, in Mitte, with up to 5,000 square metres outside and about 5,000 people as the outdoor guide. The main hall stays at about 400 seated and about 600 standing. The terrace holds about 500. The hall is a workroom or a small circle, not the rain plan for 3,000.

Place

AEG grounds in Gesundbrunnen, Berlin-Mitte, up to 5,000 square metres

The address is Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, building 17. The borough is Mitte and the locality is Gesundbrunnen. For 3,000 people the grounds are the room. The house at the edge is infrastructure, not the capacity.

S Humboldthain is about a ten-minute walk. Hauptbahnhof is about 30 minutes by train and on foot. U8 Voltastraße and Gesundbrunnen station are close, without invented minutes. Wedding stays a wayfinding cue, not the borough of the address.

3,000 people on one path need waves. Parking carries a build that takes more than one day. It does not carry the party.

The bookable open air at this scale is set out on the open-air event page.

Number

3,000 people under the outdoor guide of 5,000, not above it

About 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres is the open air on the AEG grounds. 3,000 is not that maximum and it is not a discount on it. It is its own layout: less dense than 5,000, or less ground, depending on the stage and the routes. The drawing says which.

Indoors the main hall ends at about 400 seated and about 600 standing, on more than 600 square metres. About 600 is the standing hour, not a row of chairs. Three thousand seats, three thousand place settings, a conference for 3,000: this house is not that.

The number stays a guide, not a blanket clearance. Book 3,000 in order to let in 5,000 quietly and you will not get a plan from us. The walk-through holds the number that will stand on the invitation.

Rooms

Main hall, terrace and Philosophia are the workshop, not the 3,000

Several rooms carry a day of this size by taking weight off the site, not by being counted in. The main hall can be store, rehearsal, a hosts' table of about 400, or a quiet room for the presenters. It is not the show for 3,000.

The terrace, about 400 square metres and about 500 standing, is a forecourt under the sky. 500 of 3,000 is a sixth. Write the terrace in as a second hall and you have doubled people who are not there.

Philosophia, about 180 square metres, about 100 at banquet tables, is the office of the day: running order, radios, a quiet door. The 3,000 guests do not see it as a row of chairs. A row or parliament layout in the main hall stays on request and plays no role at this number.

Running order

A build day and an event day on the AEG grounds

3,000 people need a build day that is not the event day. Stage, service points, routes and the light are standing before the first wave leaves Humboldthain. Put the build and the public in the same hour and you lose the gate.

The evening's running order is simple and therefore strict. Waves at the entrance, one centre, service at the edge, an exit that does not pass the kitchen. The hall stays behind a door. Open it as a programme point for everyone and you suddenly have 3,000 in front of a room for 600.

The kitchen of the house feeds the site. A second trade with its own gate is not the plan. The clock of service is the clock of the waves, not the clock of a dinner in the hall.

Weather

Rain at 3,000: the main hall is not a fallback room

At 3,000 the hall is not a rain plan. About 600 standing inside leaves about 2,400 people without a roof. Say that, or do not plan the format. A promise to bring everyone indoors would be false.

The terrace is not a roof either. About 500 standing does not turn the sum into a solution. Marquees we do not have do not appear in this text as capacity.

The honest sentence is: 3,000 is an open-air date. If the weather turns, it does not take place at that number. A later day, or a different and smaller format in the hall, are the paths we can actually offer.

Production

Stage, service and one producer for 3,000

Sound and light belong on the site, with a rehearsal on the build day, not in the hour of the first wave. The direction of the stage is part of the walk-through, because sound outdoors does not stay inside a room. We do not invent a decibel promise. We fix where the stage faces and who answers for it.

Catering, the bar and the technology stay with one producer at Cantinerie. Three service points on the drawing are a hypothesis until the routes work. Philosophia holds radios and the running order, not guests.

What the site needs arrives at ground level. What does not have to pass the hall door does not pass the hall door. That keeps the room of 400, if there is a hosts' table, separate from the 3,000.

Arrival

Building 17 stays step-free, the crowd moves in waves

The entrance to the house is step-free and the venue is fully accessible. On the site for 3,000 a wheelchair route from the gate to a named point must stay clear. It is not a leftover strip at the edge of the density.

Guests check railway lifts themselves. We promise no lift. The invitation staggers the waves and names Humboldthain, about a ten-minute walk. One single time for 3,000 is not a plan. It is a jam.

Walk-through

What the walk-through settles for 3,000 people on 5,000 square metres

We start on the empty site, not in the hall. Where the stage stands, where the three possible service points stand, where the route is that is still a route at 3,000. Up to 5,000 square metres is the frame. The drawing for 3,000 must not use that frame as a permit for more people.

Then the hall door, shut. Whoever wants it open names the circle: about 400 seated or about 600 standing, and not one person more. The rest of the 3,000 do not have this door. In the rain they have no roof either. That is said aloud on the walk-through.

Build and public get two dates. The rehearsal of sound and service sits on the first. The waves sit on the second. Philosophia is the quiet room on both. It appears in no guest count.

Three sentences at the end. 3,000 applies only outdoors on the AEG grounds, under the guide of about 5,000 people and up to 5,000 square metres. The rooms of the house are not added. If the weather fails, the number fails, or the day becomes smaller and honest. Without those sentences there is no date. A hosts' dinner of about 400 stays a chapter behind the door and does not migrate into the public number. The terrace, about 500, is the forecourt, not a second hall. Strike those chapters so the headline looks larger and you will not get the site from us.

Checklist

What the first walk-through in Gesundbrunnen checks

3,000 only on the site

Open air on the AEG grounds, under about 5,000 people and up to 5,000 square metres.

The hall is not a rescue

About 600 standing inside leaves the large rest without a roof.

The build is its own day

Stage and routes are up before the first wave arrives.

Before you enquire

Questions we hear first.

Short answers for a first shortlist. The final layout still depends on guest count, staging and the run of the day.

01Can Cantinerie hold 3,000 people in the rooms?+

No. Main hall, terrace and Philosophia are not added. 3,000 applies outdoors, up to 5,000 square metres, within about 5,000 people.

02Is 3,000 the same as 5,000?+

No. 5,000 is the outdoor guide. 3,000 needs its own drawing and is not an invitation to admit more people.

03What is the rain plan?+

There is none that brings 3,000 indoors. The hall holds about 600 standing. Either the date can live with the weather, or the number gets smaller.

04Is the site in Wedding?+

The borough is Berlin-Mitte and the locality is Gesundbrunnen. Wedding is the former borough name and a wayfinding cue.

05Is there a conference or a dinner for 3,000?+

No. Conference and dinner stay in the hall, seated up to about 400. 3,000 is an outdoor format.
