Galas, conferences, product launches, company parties, award ceremonies and weddings for 100 to 600 guests can be organized at the Wasserwerk, a brick water pumping station of 1903 to 1906 converted into an event venue in Berlin-Wilmersdorf. The hall of about 1,000 m² and a 500 m² urban garden are booked exclusively, with technology, catering, furniture and staff included in one package.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists conferences, meetings, MICE events, incentives, press conferences, B2B events, kick-offs and product launches. For a conference, the hall takes banquet seating for 100 to 330, with open areas for workshops, breaks and networking. Wi-Fi, a microphone and professional lighting and sound are included; a projector, a screen and further equipment can be added. Coffee breaks and a business lunch can be chosen for a day format.
Packages run for four, six or eight hours and can be extended. Each includes exclusive use of the venue, tables, standing tables, lounge furniture and seating, service, kitchen and bar staff, cloakroom and restroom attendants, a dedicated event manager as single contact, and setup and final cleaning. The house lighting includes moving heads by Martin and Clay Paky and 48 RGB LED fixtures, and a DJ can play background music or club sound.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can be booked on any date, according to the venue. The hall holds receptions, dinners and parties, and the garden adds an outdoor bar and a fire pit for the evening. Christmas parties, summer parties and anniversaries follow the same all-inclusive format.
Rooms and capacities
The main hall measures about 1,000 m², with ceilings up to 13 m and large round-arched windows. It takes 100 to 450 guests at banquet tables, 500 to 600 in a mixed seated setup and up to 600 at a standing reception. The Stadtgarten, 500 m² outdoors, has water features, a fire pit, an outdoor bar and room for a street food concept or a food truck. Both are rented exclusively for the length of the event.
Catering
Catering is in-house. Packages include a buffet or a set menu, with a street food buffet with live stations as an option, and drinks such as prosecco, selected wines, draft beer, soft drinks and coffee. An open bar can be added. The kitchen avoids endangered species and meat linked to rainforest clearing, and sources its meat from documented, species-appropriate farming.
History and setting
The pumping station was built between 1903 and 1906 to supply Wilmersdorf with water. Its architecture follows the Brandenburg brick Gothic tradition, with red clinker brick, round-arched windows and a steel-supported saddle roof, the kind of industrial building the venue calls a cathedral of labor. After its original use ended and the building was renovated, it reopened as an event venue in October 2001. The event area was modernized in 2021, with new windows, furniture and technical equipment.
