About Ballhaus Wedding

Ballhaus Wedding is a Berlin ballroom with room for up to 250 standing guests, set behind a Wriezener Straße courtyard in Gesundbrunnen. Its distinction lies in the setting: a 350-square-metre, Belle Époque-styled sequence of rooms centered on a chandeliered dance hall, with period furniture giving concerts and stage shows the frame of a turn-of-the-century social club. Expect an intimate scale for live music, plus the sense that dancing remains central to the building’s purpose.

A Ballroom, Recast

The venue began in 1889 as a dance palace attached to a restaurant, opening under the plain name Ballsaal. Its history took a sharp turn in the 1930s, when owner Gustav Sell used the hall as a gilding workshop for picture frames, mirrors and other objects; a glazier later joined the operation. That practical use lasted until the Berlin Wall’s construction, when the glazier left for East Berlin. After reunification, restoration brought the space back into circulation for private events, photography and film work. In the 1990s, photographers Sascha Kramer and André Giogoli installed parquet in the winter garden sourced from Babelsberg film studios. Djamila Rempel and Robert Bittner took on artistic direction in 2022, reopening the hall as a cultural venue and steering its programming toward the dance-hall tradition of the 1920s.

How the House Plays

This is a broad cultural booker, built around tango and salsa nights, cabaret, improv theatre, readings, variety, chamber concerts and classical shows, with live-music brunches also in the mix. The main room favors a flexible floor plan: it seats up to 135 or holds 250 standing, depending on setup. For a concertgoer, the appeal is visual as much as acoustic—parquet beneath the crowd, chandeliers above it, plus a fireside lounge and piano room alongside the ballroom. The result suits seated recitals, theatrical sets and dance-forward bills alike.
