Berliner Festspiele
The Berliner Festspiele organise a range of festivals and art exhibitions, concerts, dance and theatre performances, readings, lectures, debates and much more throughout the year. These events are presented at a range of locations across Berlin but are concentrated primarily at their own two venues: the Gropius Bau and the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. Together with the Berlinale and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt, they make up the Kulturveranstaltungen des Bundes in Berlin GmbH.
The Gropius Bau on the border between Kreuzberg and Mitte is one of the largest exhibition venues in Germany. It frequently presents several exhibitions running simultaneously. The atrium at the centre of the building is open to everyone free of charge and offers exciting art installations and performances.
The Haus der Berliner Festspiele lies on the border between Wilmersdorf and Charlottenburg. This is where MaerzMusik is held every spring, along with the Theatertreffen and the Theatertreffen der Jugend, which is one of our four national contests, the Treffen junge Szene.
In summer there are often special programmes. The festival Tanz im August is a regular guest at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele every August, followed in September by the international literature festival berlin. Also in August and September, the Berliner Festspiele – in co-operation with the Berliner Philharmoniker Foundation – present Musikfest Berlin at the Philharmonie Berlin.
During the autumn and winter, a series of international dance and theatre productions as part of the Performing Arts Season can be seen at the Haus der Berliner Festspiele. And the three other events that make up the Treffen junge Szene are also held here: the Tanztreffen der Jugend, the Treffen junger Autor*innen and the Treffen junge Musikszene. In November it is time for Jazzfest Berlin. And in February the Berlin International Film Festival (Berlinale) is our guest.
