Konzerthaus Berlin is one of the most distinctive concert venues in central Berlin, housed in a Classical building designed by Karl Friedrich Schinkel. Its Great Hall, richly decorated in red and gold, accommodates almost 1,700 visitors and is distinguished by its traditional rectangular “shoebox” form, elaborate ceiling and impressive chandeliers. The hall is especially renowned for its acoustics, while the building serves as the home of the Konzerthausorchester Berlin.
Inside, historic character is combined with the practical features of a modern concert venue. Different seating levels provide varied perspectives of the stage, while cloakroom facilities, accessible amenities and drinks and snacks available in the foyers make visits more convenient before performances and during intervals. In addition to the Great Hall, the complex includes several smaller performance spaces suitable for different types of events.
The exact venue address is Gendarmenmarkt 2, 10117 Berlin, Germany. The main entrances are located on both sides beneath the open staircase facing Gendarmenmarkt and lead directly into the ground-floor entrance foyer, while drivers can use the nearby Friedrichstadt-Passagen underground car park. Stadtmitte, Hausvogteiplatz and Unter den Linden stations are within a short walk, making the final approach to the entrance straightforward.
