The brick hall of the Cordeshof on a summer’s day: roller doors, lawn, driveway and blue sky over the Grunewald

The event venuein the heartof Berlin-Grunewald.

A place with a hall and a courtyard, directly connected to Messe Berlin, for weddings, corporate and lifestyle events.

The Cordeshof is an event venue in Berlin-Grunewald: a listed brick hall from the late nineteenth century, part of a historic railway site, and a wide garden with mature trees.

The site lies on Cordesstraße – named after Heinrich Cordes, a former head of the Grunewald railway workshops – right by the S-Bahn and yet surrounded by green. Ku’damm, the Messe and City West are only a few minutes away, and from Charlottenburg and Wilmersdorf you can even come by bike.

The brick buildings here were built around 1900 as the workshops and operations yard of the Berlin railway. The hall has tall windows, green steel girders, a gallery with a wooden floor and a long bar. The garden is large enough for a summer party with a stage and food trucks, and quiet enough for a celebrant-led ceremony beneath the trees. And because the team behind the Cordeshof has been producing events for years, technical production, catering and staff can come as part of the package if you wish.

A walk around the Cordeshof, at your leisure.

Aerial view of the Cordeshof: the long brick hall with its glass roof, the courtyard, the meadow with concrete pads and the old brick houses among the trees

The hall

Red brick, windows reaching almost to the roof, girders in dark green. In the afternoon the light falls at an angle across the concrete floor; in the evening the lamps above the bar take over. A room that carries a reception just as well as a dinner at long tables or a dance floor that goes on into the night.

The bar

The large bar, with its built-in kitchen, stands in the middle of the room, not in a corner. This is where people meet, where the reception begins and where the night ends.

The gallery with its wooden floor, looking down into the hall of the Cordeshof

The gallery

Up a flight of stairs: a wooden floor, steel railings and a view across the whole hall. Upstairs is the place for lounges, a second buffet or the band. Anyone wanting a moment away from the bustle has the best seat here – and is still right in the middle of it all.

Lounge, buffet, breakout – or simply the view from above

The garden

A wide meadow, old trees along its edge and, beyond them, the sky over the Grunewald. Room for a celebrant-led ceremony, a summer party with a stage and food trucks, or a market with stalls.

One courtyard, four ways to use it.

Weddings and Private Celebrations

Ceremony in the garden, reception in the courtyard, dinner in the hall, party into the night. A whole day without anyone having to get into a car. And for a birthday or a family gathering: the same place, one size smaller or larger.

Culture and Beer Garden

Concerts on the meadow, cinema in the hall, markets in the courtyard and a beer garden with a fire pit, barbecue and garden bar that needs no invitation. The Cordeshof belongs to the neighbourhood, too.

More about event management and catering

What sets the Cordeshof apart from other venues.

Berlin has plenty of beautiful spaces. Most of them are far out of town or right in the thick of the noise. Here, it is different.

As much of the Cordeshof as you need.
The hall, gallery, bar and garden can be hired individually or as the whole site. Small parties find their setting up on the gallery; large celebrations add the garden. Exclusive then means: no parallel events, no strangers on the meadow, no closing time in the hall.
One point of contact for everything.
The Cordeshof is operated by Veranstaltungsatelier, a Berlin-based production team. Venue, technical production, set construction, décor, catering and staff all come from a single source.
Technical production in-house.
We are happy to provide sound, lighting and staging in-house. The bar has a built-in kitchen. If you bring your own suppliers, you will find three-phase power, deliveries right up to the gate and a team that knows the hall.
A backdrop rather than decoration.
Brick, steel, wood and a green meadow beneath the trees carry the evening almost by themselves.
In the Grunewald, next to the Messe.
Messe Süd S-Bahn station is a few minutes’ walk away, Messe Berlin and City West are only minutes away, and parking is on site. Green enough to feel like a day out. Close enough that everyone gets home at midnight.

The people behind it

Over recent years, the team behind the Cordeshof has produced events and brand activations for a range of clients from the beauty, lifestyle, fashion and entertainment sectors – and so knows what an event has to look like behind the scenes for it to appear effortless out front.
