Bürgerhaus Wilhelmsburg rents event rooms for seminars, conferences, concerts, trade fairs and company events, from small workshop rooms to a main hall with a stage. The whole building can also be booked for a large corporate event. The house stands at Mengestraße 20 in Hamburg-Wilhelmsburg and was extensively renovated in 2025.
Seminars and company events
The house describes itself as a place where a seminar, a concert, a fair or a party congress finds its space. Its own program already includes large conferences. The renovated building is brighter and more open than before, with rooms for workshops, sports courses and larger events.
For a large corporate event or a special celebration, the complete house can be booked. Event technology is provided by Lynx Media Systems, which equips every room with sound, lighting and video on request. A personal listening system with induction loop or headphones is available in the halls and the foyer, and it also works for interpretation.
Rooms and capacities
The official site lists each room with its floor area. The site does not state seated capacities, so ask for them with your layout.
The Gesamtsaal combines the halls on the ground floor and measures 575 square meters. The Großer Saal has 370 square meters and the Kleiner Saal 200 square meters. The Foyer measures 245 square meters. There is also an outdoor area.
Smaller rooms suit workshops and working sessions. On the ground floor are Raum 0.12/0.13 (103 square meters), Raum 0.15/0.18 (54), Raum 0.22/0.23 (57) and Raum 0.24 (69). On the first floor are Raum 1.10 (52), Raum 1.11 (46) and Raum 1.12/1.13 (103).
Behind the stage there are artists' dressing rooms with their own sanitary facilities. The building is step-free, with lockers, cloakrooms, and a baby-changing and rest room on the upper floor. Free guest Wi-Fi is provided for 300 to 500 devices, with limited bandwidth. A bookable Wi-Fi package for up to 150 devices, without content restrictions, suits video conferences.
Catering
