Literaturforum im Brecht-Haus

Chausseestraße 125, 10115 Berlin, Germany

Literaturforum im Brecht-Haus combines its own literature and cultural programme with an event venue in Berlin's historic centre. Readings, book launches, talks, discussions, conferences, film screenings and workshops take place in the former home and workplace of Bertolt Brecht and Helene Weigel. The programme focuses on contemporary literature and questions relating to art, culture, society and politics. Brecht's work and its context also shape the programme.

The event hall is on the ground floor of the front building and can accommodate around 100 visitors. External organisers can hire the hall for their own events, provided these fit the venue's thematic profile. This makes the venue particularly suitable for literary and cultural events, such as book launches, discussion panels, smaller conferences or educational activities. With its wide windows overlooking Chausseestraße, the room also provides a distinctive setting in Berlin-Mitte.

The venue also offers its own educational programmes and workshops focusing on literature, theatre and social issues. Events are often also streamed live. There are two steps at the entrance to the hall, and a portable ramp is available. Anyone looking for a room for an external event should check in advance whether the concept and event fit the profile of Literaturforum. The venue is therefore particularly well suited to event planners looking for a culturally distinctive space with a literary connection.
