The LabSaal is a historic hall in Berlin-Lübars that can be rented for company parties, anniversaries, weddings, seminars and workshops. The room covers about 180 square meters, seats up to 200 guests in rows and is set up for celebrations of 50 to 130 guests. It stands on the village green of Alt-Lübars in the north of Berlin and is run by the cultural association Natur & Kultur (LabSaal-Lübars) e.V.
Seminars and company events
Since 1984 the hall has hosted concerts, theater, seminars and workshops, and the association lists company parties among the events held there every year. For a business group the room offers one open floor that can be arranged in several ways, plus a stage that works as a podium for speeches or presentations. A basic sound and lighting setup is already on site, with a tape and CD player and microphones. A screen and a projector can be provided on request. For stage acts, the association's concert sound system can be used together with its technician, also on request.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, anniversaries and other celebrations make up much of the rental business. The venue describes the hall as best suited to celebrations of 50 to about 130 guests. A mixed layout with small tables and matching chairs is possible, and so is pure row seating for up to 200. The stage can be used for a band, a presentation or the head table.
Rooms and capacities
There is one main hall. Its usable area is about 180 square meters, not counting the stage and side rooms. Seating is variable. With rows of chairs only, up to 200 seats fit. For celebrations the layout is designed for 50 to 130 people. The stage comes with technical equipment. According to the association's event pages, the hall is accessible for wheelchair users.
Catering
Catering for rentals is handled by the Gasthof Alter Dorfkrug, and this is mandatory. Organisers do not bring an outside caterer. Menus and conditions are agreed directly with the venue when the request is made.
History and setting
The hall was built in 1896 together with the village inn, in what was then the district of Niederbarnim. After the war it served as the Fortuna cinema, and it then spent about 20 years as a fertilizer store for the Senate reserve. Since 1984 it has been restored and used again for events. Today it faces the village green of Lübars, with open countryside around the village.
Getting there
Take the U6 to Tegel or the S1 to Waidmannslust, then bus 222 to the terminus at Alt-Lübars. The bus stops in front of the hall. Parking is often short on weekends and when events take place on the village green, so the association advises public transport or bicycle. Bike parking is plentiful. The office answers Monday to Friday from 3 pm to 5 pm.
