About Haus der Sinne

Haus der Sinne in Berlin is a 160-person cultural room whose concert identity grows from a rear-courtyard setting and two performance stages. The scale steers the experience toward close-range listening and dancing, while the schedule crosses live music with tango, swing, theatre, readings, open-mic events and exhibitions. For a showgoer, the useful distinction is variety inside a small, multiroom house: one visit can feel like a seated concert, a dance social, or a community stage.

A small-arts stage, then a 25th-birthday night

Opened in 1998 as a Kleinkunstbühne, Haus der Sinne began as a small-arts venue with an experimental, accessible living-room atmosphere. By 2001, the operation had settled at its present Ystader Straße site; the German Music Information Centre records both the opening and the move. A later snapshot came on October 28, 2023, when the house marked its 25th anniversary with a late-night program by Trio Scho and CURRAO featuring Saddìdandà. The bill put Italian folk-jazz and funk alongside ska, reggae and Russian swing, offering a sharply specific picture of the crossover programming the venue cultivates. The anniversary statement also set out its artistic filter: work selected for artistic interest or atmosphere, with room for emerging performers and experimental combinations. That approach suits a room where a concert can share the evening with dancing and cabaret-scale performance.

What the room offers now

Today, the charitable Kulturförderverein Schaukelsofasündikat e.V. runs the house, with booking handled by artistic directors Uwe Berndt and Juliane Hanisch. MIZ lists about 110 concerts annually, led by global music and jazz, while the venue’s own program also makes sustained space for tango, swing, theatre, literature, open mics and exhibitions. Two stages create flexibility for different formats, and the rear-courtyard location gives the place an away-from-the-street feel. Expect an intimate audience scale, genre-crossing bills, and a calendar designed around participation as well as performance.
