Villa Elisabeth
ProfileA protected architectural monument, the Villa Elisabeth makes an impression through its grandeur and its historical charm. Through the spacious foyer and up the wide steps with wroughtiron railings, the visitor arrives in the Main Hall, replete with stucco-ornamented columns andarchways that support the overhanging gallery, as well as herringbone parquet hardwood floors,wainscoting, and heavy wooden double-doors. The grounds of Villa, along with the enclosed
churchpark – a verdant gem in Berlin-Mitte – offer a place for rest and reflection. As both anindependently-run and public space, the Villa Elisabeth serves as a venue for a diverse, curated
cultural program. The Villa focuses primarily on Contemporary Composition and Early Music, experimental as well as interdisciplinary formats, but also hosts classical Chamber Music concerts,
recitals and vocals with smaller instrumentation. The Villa is also proud to host modern Musicand Dance Theater, as well as experimental projects of emerging artists.
History of the Villa Elisabeth
The Villa Elisabeth was inaugurated as the parish hall for the neighboring St. Elisabeth Church in1907, and was home to its vigorous parish life. After the destruction of the church in 1945, the Villa Elisabeth served additionally as the place of worship and religious services, until joining withthe Elisabeth Parish in 1998. In 2003, the Elisabeth Cultural Bureau (Kultur Büro Elisabeth) wasestablished, in order to use the St. Elisabeth Church together with the Villa Elisabeth as a culturalvenue oriented towards a broader public.

The St. Elisabeth Church is a place where history is palpable. Its large hall provides an open space
for artists and artistic uses of various kinds, right in the city center. It is a place of artistic exploration, of improvisation, concentration and of dialogue between Culture and the Church.
Our focus lies primarily in Early Music and Contemporary Classical Music, as well as in contemporary musical, spoken or dance theater, and art, especially in regards to experimental as wellas interdisciplinary and multimedia projects. The Church’s park grounds, also a historical monument and a verdant gem in Berlin-Mitte, offer the visitor a place for rest and reflection.

own church, which was built in the “antique style” by Architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel by orderof King Wilhelm III (1770-1840). The church, renovated in 1935 for the centenary, burned to theground in 1945. Remaining in a state of ruin for almost 50 years, the St. Elisabeth Church wasfinally secured in 1991 and has been restored since 1999 with funds from the German Foundationfor Monument Protection, the Provincial Monuments Office, the Urban Heritage Program andprivate donations.

The church has no heating, though external heating is available. Additional restrooms as well as rooms (e.g. dressing rooms for artists or catering, back office, etc.) areavailable in the Villa Elisabeth next door.
Maximum capacity: 350 people seated or 400 people standing, banquet seating can accommodate ca. 200 people. No parking on the premises, however loading zones are available.
