THE KNAST - Dome Hall

THE KNAST - Dome Hall – Venue description

The light-filled dome hall is located on the second floor of the former women's prison in Berlin-Lichterfelde and impresses with its high ceilings, large windows, and rich historical atmosphere. It can accommodate up to 55 people and, with its stage platform and excellent acoustics, is versatile for events such as concerts, celebrations, award ceremonies, product presentations, workshops, exhibitions, readings, and theater performances. Authentically renovated, the 113 m² dome hall also serves as an extraordinary location for photoshoots, film shoots, productions, or private events. If desired, the event concept can be complemented with guided tours of the building or a dinner—either in the smaller restaurant area or in the larger cell block. The hall is furnished with comfortable, high-quality seating, including a variety of elements, cocktail tables, and standing tables. There is also a full bar counter with high stools. The space has been meticulously restored, offering a living room-like, 20-year-old flair with a subdued, impressive lighting atmosphere. A projection screen, speakers, and a sound system are available. Drinks and bar snacks are served from the integrated high-end cocktail bar in the dome hall. Party catering can be arranged upon request. For external events, the dome hall operates under a no-photo policy, making it an ideal choice for protected events. The venue follows an adults-only concept, which must be taken into account for events. For a current impression, we invite you to visit this location in person.
