About Tipi am Kanzleramt
Tipi am Kanzleramt is a 550-seat theatre in Berlin’s Tiergarten, set beside the Federal Chancellery and billed as Europe’s largest permanent tent stage. Its four-mast canvas structure is the draw: inside, chandeliers hang above small round bistro tables set with white cloths, giving concerts and stage shows the feel of an evening out built around both performance and supper.
A tent with a previous life
Founder and director Holger Klotzbach opened the Tipi on 8 June 2002 as the anniversary tent for Bar jeder Vernunft, his Berlin mirror-tent theatre. The opening revue went out live on 3sat; Alfred Biolek and Gayle Tufts introduced a cast that included Meret Becker and Otto Sander. The site already carried its own performance history: the alternative-culture Tempodrom tent occupied this ground during the 1980s, while “In den Zelten” had hosted summer-garden entertainment by the late nineteenth century.
The building itself supplied a singular sequel in August 2009, when the tent moved 80 metres and turned 90 degrees. That is an unusually literal reinvention for a theatre, and it explains why the venue retains the impermanent visual language of a marquee while operating as a year-round stage.
The room today
The programme centers on chanson, cabaret, variety, dance, acrobatics, musical comedy, magic and concerts, with CABARET – Das Berlin-Musical among its recurring productions. Expect a seated, table-service format for many shows, a large stage, and an 800-square-metre main hall rising eight metres high. The tent also takes exclusive private events, corporate functions and award ceremonies; its flexible layouts reach 500 cabaret seats or 700 standing guests. A beer garden adds about 160 outdoor seats in season.
