An incentive in Berlin: one evening on the AEG grounds, with no hotel beds
An incentive is an evening, not a night in a bed. The group sits up to about 400 or stands up to about 600. Larger than that, the evening is open air, its own format, up to about 5,000 people on up to 5,000 square metres. We have no rooms to sleep in.
In short
An incentive in Berlin is one evening on the AEG grounds for us. This house has no hotel beds. 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
The incentive ends at the door of building 17. Anyone who needs a hotel after that looks elsewhere. We hold the evening. 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.
Dates for this format are checked on the corporate event page.
Number
Incentive in Gesundbrunnen: the figure from the walk-through
The group sits up to about 400 or stands up to about 600 in the main hall. Above that it is open air on the AEG grounds and no longer this evening format. For the incentive 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.
Anyone who wants beds, an overnight transfer and three programme points wants a hotel. We hold the kitchen, the room and one evening. The terrace, about 400 square metres, holds about 500 standing and about 300 at banquet tables. It is not added to the incentive. An arrival there is another chapter.
Rooms
Main hall, Philosophia and terrace are not added together
The ground outdoors can be the programme point. It is not counted as a bed and it is not added to the hall. The rooms are not added for the incentive. 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 Incentive on the AEG grounds
The day has an end. After the last course the group leaves. Breakfast the next morning is not part of this booking and is not quietly sold with it. 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.
One kitchen, one producer, one menu for the evening. We do not set up a breakfast trade the next day. Philosophia, about 180 square metres, holds about 100 at banquet tables and about 200 in a row. For the incentive it is its own room or the quiet corner for production, not an extra.
Weather
Rain and Incentive: terrace, hall, AEG grounds
A reception on the terrace needs the rain sentence: the hall, and the number has to fit there standing. Otherwise the invitation gets 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.
The ground outdoors can be the programme point. It is not counted as a bed and it is not added to the hall. 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 the incentive.
Production
Kitchen and sound for Incentive on the AEG grounds
One kitchen, one producer, one menu for the evening. We do not set up a breakfast trade the next day. 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
The group arrives together and leaves together. Humboldthain, about ten minutes on foot, is the route, not a shuttle we do not run. 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 Incentive
The incentive ends at the door of building 17. Anyone who needs a hotel after that looks elsewhere. We hold the evening. Wheelchair routes come off the raw chair count. Ground-level delivery keeps the build short. The open kitchen of the house stays the kitchen.
The day has an end. After the last course the group leaves. Breakfast the next morning is not part of this booking and is not quietly sold with it. The rooms are not added for the incentive. Main hall, terrace, Philosophia and open air keep their own figures, even when a photograph makes them look like one house.
Anyone who wants beds, an overnight transfer and three programme points wants a hotel. We hold the kitchen, the room and one evening. 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.
