Filmpark Babelsberg hosts conferences, galas, product launches, award ceremonies and team events for anything from 50 to 3,500 guests, in the Metropolis Halle and among the sets and arenas of the film park. The park sits in Potsdam, next to the Babelsberg film studios and about 45 minutes from central Berlin.
Seminars and company events
The park sells business events and congresses, lectures and seminars, media and press events, and corporate celebrations. The Metropolis Halle carries most large formats and has hosted award shows and product launches with a stage and seated tables. For smaller groups, three multifunction rooms of 120 square meters take up to 60 at banquet tables or 100 standing, and three further rooms of 50 square meters serve as breakouts. Incentive programs combine team building with a look behind the scenes of film production, under two themes, Making Movies and Making Stunts, and film sets and park facilities can be built into the program.
Rooms and capacities
The Metropolis Halle covers 3,034 square meters with an 11-meter clear height and a floor load of 4 tonnes per square meter. A sound-insulating partition splits it into Studio Ost, about 1,600 square meters, for up to 700 at banquet or 2,000 standing, and Studio West, about 1,400 square meters, for 600 at banquet or 1,500 standing. Together they take 1,500 at banquet or 3,500 standing. The glazed foyer, 956 square meters, seats 300 or holds 700 standing and works for receptions, exhibitions and lounges. The hall can be divided for events from 200 guests.
Technical points include 105 ceiling rigging points rated 450 to 950 kilograms, CAT7 patch panels for light, sound and media, Wi-Fi and two entrances 4 meters high. The hall is step-free, with a service corridor around it. Elsewhere in the park, the Vulkanarena has 2,500 covered seats and hosts stunt shows, and an outdoor area between the foyer and the arena can be combined with the hall. The Prinz Eisenherz setting, themed on a medieval castle, is used for dinners.
Catering
The Metropolis Halle has no fixed caterer: organizers bring their own or choose one of the recommended partners. Catering areas with cooling and storage are built into the hall.
History and setting
The hall opened in 2008 as a television-capable studio and takes its name from Fritz Lang's 1927 film Metropolis, much of which was shot at Babelsberg. The park stands in Potsdam's media district, beside studios that have made films for more than a century. In winter the hall can carry other uses: from December 6, 2026 to February 6, 2027 it holds an indoor ice rink of 650 square meters, so event dates in that period need checking early.
Getting there
Medienstadt Babelsberg station is about 300 meters away, and central Berlin is about 45 minutes away. The park has 900 car spaces and 18 coach spaces on site.
