Arena Berlin rents a 6,500 m2 hall, a Glashaus, a floating pool deck and open-air areas on the Spree in Alt-Treptow, for trade fairs, conferences, galas and concerts of up to 9,000 guests.
Seminars and company events
The site covers 20,000 m2 and is listed as a heritage monument. Its six indoor and outdoor locations can be booked separately or combined. The Arena Halle suits trade fairs, congresses, product presentations, gala evenings, fashion events, parties and TV or film shoots. A conference can use the hall alone, or the Glashaus as a quieter second space. At larger events on the grounds, the Glashaus works as a VIP or rest zone.
Weddings and receptions
The official site does not offer weddings. It does mention private events in the Glashaus, readings and concerts in an intimate setting, and exclusive rental of the Badeschiff for organizers.

The pages do not describe an in-house catering offer. Confirm with the booking team whether you bring your own caterer.
History and setting
The hall was built in 1927 to plans by Franz Ahrens as a depot for 240 buses of the Allgemeine Berliner Omnibus AG. At the time it was the largest free-spanning hall in Europe. Roof skylights and glazed arched gables light the interior. After 1961 the building stood in the border strip of the Berlin Wall. The bus company left in 1993, a cultural association took over, and the complex was extensively renovated in 2000.
The Glashaus stands at the Flutgraben, where the Wall once ran through the building. A few structural elements recall that period.
Getting there
The grounds are at Eichenstraße 4, 12435 Berlin, in the Treptow-Köpenick district, on the Spree. Booking requests go to the Arena Berlin booking team, and the site gives its phone number on the contact page.
