About Marias Ballroom

Marias Ballroom is a 140-capacity live-music club in Hamburg-Harburg’s Phoenix Quarter. Its defining feature is the route through the lounge and central bar into a separate ballroom: a 14-by-5.5-metre, high-ceilinged room with a 5-by-3-metre stage. That scale puts audiences close to the band while retaining a proper stage, dedicated bar and standing-room energy. The club has operated as an official licensed music venue since September 2011.

A century-old hall finds its bandstand

The site began as a pub in 1893, during development of the Phoenix Quarter; a hall and kitchen followed in 1912. After interruptions during the world wars, the building resumed life in 1945 as a pub, restaurant and meeting place. Its earlier social function survives in the basic architecture: the front hospitality space leads to a rear room made for gatherings.

The concert chapter grew from that dormant hall. A 2015 local profile reports that Heimo Rademaker began putting on parties and concerts there around 2010, initially with friends and acquaintances, before the operation expanded. Maria Stricker ran the adjoining pub until March 2014; Rademaker became sole proprietor in April and renovated the venue. That summer, workers replaced parts of the ballroom floor, whose structure dated to 1912, and the refreshed pub gained a small performance area for emerging acts and solo artists.

The room on a show night

Expect a rock- and pop-centred small-club bill, alongside local, national and international bands, dance events and occasional unplugged sets in the lounge. Marias also rents its spaces to outside promoters and private events, so the calendar can move across metal, indie, folk, soul, jazz and electronic nights. The main room has its own bar, standing tables and stools, plus modern PA, monitors and lighting; the lounge offers around 40 places, including 25 seats.
