Colonia Nova in Berlin-Neukölln hosts company events, workshops, receptions and product presentations in a 400 sqm event loft that seats 199 guests. A 500 sqm rooftop terrace and two private meeting rooms complete the offer. The venue occupies the upper floors of a former factory building at Thiemannstraße 1, Gate 4, House 5, in the south of Berlin.
Seminars and company events
The loft is built around a modular system of curtains and walls. Organisers can keep it as one hall for a plenary session or divide it into separate zones, which suits several workshops running at the same time. Large windows bring daylight into the room throughout the day. Dimmable spotlights and a tuned sound system let you change the mood for an evening program.
Two private meeting rooms are available for smaller groups, breakouts or confidential talks. The 500 sqm rooftop terrace works as a break-out space during a conference, or as a standalone venue for a summer party or a networking evening.
The venue also lists formats beyond the classic seminar: team building, film and photo shoots, fashion shows and product presentations. Because the loft is one large volume with a clean floor, these formats need little conversion work.
Rooms and capacities
The event loft seats up to 199 people. It includes a 30 sqm bar area built from copper and solid wood, run by the venue's own bar team, and a floor of freshly cast screed. The rooftop terrace covers 500 sqm. It is reached by its own elevator and has wooden seating areas, ambient lighting, planting and a dedicated bar. The venue gives no separate headcount for the terrace or for the two meeting rooms, so state your numbers and layout when you send a request.
Catering
The team runs the bars on the loft level and on the roof and serves a selection of drinks. The official site does not describe a kitchen or a catering model, so confirm early whether food comes from an outside caterer. The team says it can draw on its professional network to assemble a package around your event.
History and setting
Colonia Nova occupies part of a former factory in Neukölln. The lower floors hold 15 offices rented to creative professionals and small teams, all of them currently let. The event spaces are on the top floor, and the terrace looks over the south of the city. The neighbourhood is described by the venue as lively.
Getting there
S Sonnenallee is the nearest S-Bahn station. Bus 171 and the M41 stop at Hertzbergplatz. The team offers site visits, which is the most reliable way to check the layout and the sound before you commit to a date.
