Ballhaus Walzerlinksgestrickt hosts company parties, gala dinners, receptions and weddings, with plated menus served to up to 200 guests at the same time. The venue occupies a former brewery from 1885 on the Tempelhofer Berg in Berlin-Kreuzberg, with a ballroom of 250 m² and three further halls of 100 m² each.
Seminars and company events
The in-house team takes on company events from the first idea to the end of the night. It develops the concept, plans the details, coordinates the day and runs the event on site. Drinks and wine advice, music, and the booking of DJs and artists are part of the service. The house suits evening formats such as receptions, galas, anniversaries and staff parties rather than daytime meetings: the website sells no seminar package and lists no meeting layouts.
For speeches and awards, sound can be fed into every hall on the ground floor, so a host speaking in the ballroom is heard in the side rooms too. Two wireless Sennheiser microphone and headset sets can be booked, along with a 24-channel MA Lightcommander lighting desk and Pioneer DJ equipment. Extra furniture, other table shapes and further technical gear come through the partner rent4event.
Weddings and receptions
For weddings the house is let exclusively to the couple. The team writes a minute-by-minute running order for the day, advises on seating with six sample floor plans, and books music. Aperitifs can be served in the bar lounge, decorated in orange and green, before guests move to the ballroom for dinner and dancing. The wedding page does not mention ceremonies on site, so couples planning a civil or symbolic ceremony on the same day should raise it early.
Rooms and capacities
The Ballsaal with its gallery covers 250 m² under a Prussian vaulted ceiling 6.60 m high. The Gartensaal, the Spiegelsaal and the Bar-Lounge measure 100 m² each, and a fourth room of 100 m² on the first floor serves as a kids' club or cloakroom. Rectangular banquet tables of 240 by 80 cm seat 8 or 10, and round gala tables 180 cm across also seat 8 or 10. The website does not give a standing capacity.
Catering
Food and drinks come from Hohenstein Catering, the exclusive partner of the house for 15 years. Formats range from flying finger food and buffets to plated menus, with a barbecue option for weddings. With a plated menu, each of up to 200 guests receives the dish chosen in advance. Proposals are built around the budget the client sets.
History and setting
The building opened in 1885 as the Habel malt beer brewery, with a beer cellar and several basement levels. It stood unused from 1960 and reopened as a dance hall in 1997. Dancing is still at the heart of the house, which belongs to the German dance teachers' association. The Ballhaus sits in the Bergmannkiez, close to the former Tempelhof airfield, now the Tempelhofer Feld park, and 3.5 km from the Brandenburg Gate.
Getting there
The address is Am Tempelhofer Berg 7d, 10965 Berlin. The venue has its own parking area, described on its website. Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER) serves the city for guests flying in.
