Kochende Welten-Loft hosts team cooking events for up to 120 participants, long-table dinners for up to 200 guests, and the meetings, kick-offs and product presentations that often come with them. The loft occupies the ground floor of a former manufacturing building on Gerichtstraße in Berlin-Wedding, next to a second space, artloft.berlin, and both are run by the same team.
Seminars and company events
The company describes its offer as 360 degrees: venue hire, catering production, event consulting and service staff from one contact. The spaces are used for conferences, seminars, workshops and bootcamps, kick-offs, team events and incentives, product presentations, networking receptions and Christmas parties. Cooking is the core format. In a team cooking event, groups from 10 people prepare a three-course menu together and then sit down to eat it; a sample evening starts with a welcome drink at 6:30 p.m., cooking runs from 7 p.m. to about 8:45 p.m., then comes the shared meal. The modules can be combined: a cocktail workshop for up to 50 people as a warm-up, a guided wine tasting for up to 30, show cooking during a dinner, or a dinner to close a conference day. Across formats the team works with groups of 10 to 180.
Weddings and receptions
Private occasions are part of the offer, and the company lists weddings among them. The dinner format, for up to 200 guests at a long table, set classically or served family style, suits a wedding meal or a large birthday. A tasting can be arranged before booking.
Rooms and capacities
The Kochende Welten-Loft is a factory loft with a show kitchen and several live-cooking stations. artloft.berlin, on the same ground floor, gives guests room to move between stations. An outdoor terrace has a barbecue area. The venue publishes capacities by format rather than by room: up to 120 for team cooking, 200 for a dinner, 50 for a cocktail workshop and 30 for a wine tasting. A floor plan is available on the website; floor areas are not published.
Catering
Catering is the company's own trade. Menus use fresh, regional and seasonal produce and can be prepared in meat or vegan versions, with themed country dinners and a Christmas menu. Drinks come from a selected list and are served by the in-house team. The same company caters off-site for 10 to 800 guests, from business and trade fair catering to live cooking and barbecue, and runs a roadshow format with a mobile kitchen for harbors, rooftops or open countryside.
History and setting
Kochende Welten was founded in 2010 and says it has worked for more than 3,500 clients, from private hosts and agencies to start-ups and DAX-listed companies. The loft keeps the raw character of its former factory building, which suits informal formats where guests stand, cook and talk rather than sit in rows.
Getting there
The address is Gerichtstraße 23, courtyard 3, entrance 2, ground floor, 13347 Berlin, in the Wedding district north of the city center. The website links to a map but gives no public transport or parking details, so check access with the team when planning.
