An event venue for 800 people in Berlin: open air only, on the AEG grounds
Eight hundred people stand in the open air on the AEG grounds, inside a guide of about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. The main hall stops at about 600 standing. In the rain about 200 have no roof. The rooms are not added.
In short
An event venue for 800 people in Berlin is open air on the AEG grounds. The main hall does not hold 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
Eight hundred people belong on the open ground of the AEG site, not in the main hall and not on the terrace alone. 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
800 people in Gesundbrunnen: the figure from the walk-through
Indoors the standing hour ends at about 600 and seating ends at about 400. 800 is part of the outdoor guide of about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres, not a larger hall. For 800 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.
Rooms are not added in order to count the 200 under a roof. Terrace and Philosophia are not silent extras on the hall. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to 800 people. An arrival there is another chapter.
Rooms
Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together
800 is not permission to admit 5,000. The ground is drawn for this number, not for the maximum of the site. The rooms are not added for 800 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 800 people on the AEG grounds
The day sits on the ground: one centre, routes, bars, an ending in waves. The hall can be a chapter for a part of the crowd, not the home of the 800. 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 sits on the routes across the ground, not in an aisle of the hall. A second caterer in the courtyard is not the plan. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For 800 people it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.
Weather
Rain and 800 people: terrace, hall, AEG grounds
In the rain about 200 people have no roof, because the main hall holds only about 600 standing. That sentence sits before the invitation, not in a footnote. About 600 applies only as a standing hour.
