DIE WIESENBURG KULTURSTELLE IS A CULTURAL AND WORKING VENUE IN THE HEART OF BERLIN -WEDDING
SHAPED BY SOCIAL TRADITIONS AND SOLIDARITY
In the coming years, the area will be renovated, ruins will be rebuilt, and existing structures will be maintained. The site remains accessible, but please understand that events and gatherings will only be possible to a limited extent.
We continue to work to ensure that this place retains its special charm even after the renovation, that users can continue their work, and that we can shape the future of Wiesenburg together.
However, recent decisions by the administration and the owner have not made this task any easier. Further information will follow shortly…
+ The history of the Wiesenburg can now be read
+ The future of Wiesenburg is taking shape
With the founding of our cooperative ‘Die Wiesenburg Berlin eG‘, we have set a milestone for the safeguarding of art, culture, crafts, education and social connectivity at the Wiesenburg as well as for the future management in self-administration. You can find out more about the road to this point and the status of our negotiations here.
+ What people say about us
“Die Wiesenburg is a living, compete work of art; its uniqueness should be preserved. The spirit of its enchanting, historical buildings should permeate the new ones.”
+ Ephraim Gothe
District Councillor for Construction, Berlin-Mitte
‘This place is well known far beyond the borders of Berlin and serves as a role model for other federal states. Numerous artists rehearse, work and network there in self-determined conditions. This is exactly what allows them to develop structures that are sensitive to the needs of the city and can be tailored to the needs of the immediate vicinity.’
+ Barbara Schmidt-Rohr
Artistic Director, Tanzinitiative Hamburg
“Germany and particularly Berlin are seen abroad as places where the independent art scene is highly valued, something that can only be dreamed of by artists in other countries… and exactly such places as Die Wiesenburg play an important role. They give a soul to urbanisation and above all, create the excitement that the city has successfully marketed…without such places we, the Goethe Institute, lose an argument in presenting Germany as a land of culture.”
+ Marc-André Schmachtel
Director, Goethe Institute, Lagos, Nigeria
