Der Zeitgeist in Dresden rents out a hall that holds up to 140 guests seated and up to 200 standing, for conferences, talks, weddings, birthdays, dance evenings, concerts and company parties. The venue sits at Großenhainer Straße 93 in the Pieschen district and also runs its own catering and an equipment rental service, so one contact can cover the room, the food and the tableware.
Seminars and company events
The hall is offered for conferences, lectures and company parties. The venue states 140 places with seating and up to 200 people with no seating, and the number depends on the layout you choose. The site publishes seating plans showing several ways to set the room, and a hall portfolio can be downloaded with the practical details. Share your program, your headcount and the layout you want when you write, and the team will answer by email.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are named among the events the hall hosts, alongside birthdays and other celebrations. The hall can take a seated dinner for up to 140 guests, or a standing reception with dancing for up to 200. Food can come from the venue's own kitchen team, and the equipment service can supply decoration for the tables.
Rooms and capacities
There are three spaces on site. The hall is the main event room, with 100 to 200 guests depending on the seating. The pub, a bar room with about 25 seats, serves as the everyday restaurant and can be used as a reception area. The guest garden has about 80 seats, which suits a summer drinks reception or a coffee break outdoors. The site does not publish room dimensions or technical specifications, so ask for those directly.
Catering
Catering is run in house. The venue lists fine canapés, a buffet, a multi-course menu, finger food, or a complete package that covers everything the event needs. Menus are discussed one to one, by phone or by email. The kitchen is open Thursday and Friday for the pub, and at other times on request.
Alongside the food, the venue rents out event equipment: dishes, glasses, cutlery, buffet equipment, indoor and outdoor furniture, table decoration, candle holders, linen and event technology. A list of the items can be downloaded as a PDF or as an Excel sheet to fill in. The team can also help with the planning of the whole event and deliver food, drinks and decoration to another location.
History and setting
Der Zeitgeist is a Dresden pub known for its range of herbal liqueurs and spirits. Over the years the owners have collected more than 450 herbs, and most of them can be tasted, which makes a herb tasting a possible part of a group evening. On Fridays through spring the hall also hosts live concerts, so the room is already set up for music, stage and dancing. The venue is open evenings on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, with a lunch table on Thursday.
Getting there
The address is Großenhainer Straße 93, 01127 Dresden. Bookings and catering requests go by email, and the venue can also be reached by phone.
