Soeht 7 - prison cell – Venue description

The former women's prison Soeht 7 has several 8 m² cells on 3 floors, which are being offered for numerous occasions. The single cells are partially set up with an own sink. A small window with bars allows natural sunlight to shine trough. Moreover, there is a shower and WC in the corridor. They are freely accessible to the guests. The single cells on the ground floor are an excellent location for artists and are suitable for exhibitions, readings as well as film and photo productions. Spotlights and technical equipment can be booked externally. Architecture & history The Soeht7 is not an architectural “no-place” like other prisons of the 20th century, but resembles the renaissance typical architecture. Round arched passageways, floral decorations, larger windows and arched corridors create a friendly and light-flooded event location. In 2010, the last inmates of the women's prison were relocated and moved. Meanwhile the creativity and imagination moved in. The listed and protected building developed into a popular movilocation. In 2016, the huge keys found new hands. Since then, a colorful life has taken place where artists frequently meet. We would like to invite you to see this location live. We are looking forward to your request! SOEHT 7 - Former Women's Prison - Local area description The Soeht 7 is located in Soehtstr. 7, a special place in Lichterfelde-West, in the south of Berlin.
