Columbiahalle

In the location's words:

Built in 1951 as a sports hall for stationed US soldiers and visitors, the Columbiahalle has been a versatile, established event location in Berlin's Tempelhof district right on the border with Kreuzberg since 1998. Numerous artists and event organizers have already realized and successfully implemented their concepts here.

It is ideal for concerts of all kinds. However, other events such as comedy shows, trade fairs, graduation balls, presentations, company parties, sporting events, fashion shows and showcases can also be held here.

With a capacity of up to 3,500 standing places, it is spacious and at the same time very intimate. It offers a good view of the stage from all angles. Seating in the hall is possible both downstairs and on the tier.

This makes it one of the most impressive and intimate venues of this size in the heart of the capital.

There are five bars for your physical well-being, which can be reached quickly from all areas, as well as a barbecue station in the garden. The beautiful outdoor area, which is often integrated into event concepts, rounds off the overall complex around the Columbiahalle.
