The unique atmosphere of the water reservoirs stands out above all for their spectacular acoustics, the impressive architecture and their exciting history. By 1850, Berlin was considered the most foul- smelling city in Europe. Around 1852 by order of the Prussian King, the first public water supply system for Berlin was built. On the “Windmühlenberg“, an open water basin and a water tower were constructed. The plant was expanded after 1873, but despite further modernization, the plant was quickly deemed ineffective for the growing city and saw its decommission by 1914. In the following years, the rooms served as warehouses, workshops, a war kitchen, an air raid shelter and a fish shed, even for a short time as a so-called “flying concentration camp“. Since 1994, the “Cultural Office Pankow“ and the “Förder- band Kulturinitiative e. V.“ have been responsible for the cultural use of the industrial landmark. Over the last 20 years, art projects such as the “Kryptonale“ (1994–2004), the “Reservoirs“ (1996–2006) or the “Singuhr Hörgalerie“ (2007–2013) have been held in the water reservoirs.

× masks are mandatory, entrance only with proof of vaccination, 24h-old negative test, recovery, vaccination, etc.

× 1 ticket per day, valid for all 3 concerts per respective day

To realize the fourth edition of the festival with a physical audience back in August 2020, we successfully developed a event concept that meets the municipality’s requirements and preserves the core idea of the “Speicher” festival.

Since these regulations tend to change quite often, we’ll present our detailed concept around 2-3 weeks before the festival.

You’ll surely need to wear a mask and show some proof of vaccination or a 24h-old negative test etc. As these rules can change, we advise you to check speicher.bohemiandrips.de or the Facebook-Event for updates.
