context_page_description: The Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide is a cultural heritage site in Berlin which serves as an open-air performance venue in the shape of an amphitheater. It is part of Volkspark Wuhlheide in the Berlin-Oberschöneweide neighborhood in the district of Bezirk Treptow-Köpenick. The Kindl-Bühne has a non-seated spectator capacity of 17,000 and a seated capacity of 15,300. It is the second-largest open-air stage in Berlin, trailing only the Waldbühne in size.
context_section_description: In 1996 and 1997, the venue was completely renovated and modernized.  The stage area (with a playing area of 22.5m x 16m) received a permanent tent roof supported by a steel structure which can support up to 16 additional tons of light and sound equipment.  Also, all necessary functional and adjacent facilities, as well as the infrastructural facilities (e.g. restrooms, power supply, emergency generator, merchandisers, visitor benches), were fully rebuilt.  The reopening as Parkbühne Wuhlheide occurred in June 1996 with a concert of the Brandenburg Philharmonic of Potsdam.
  Early in 2003, the open-air stage was renamed the Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide (after the brewery Berliner Kindl).  The stage was sold to the present operator Parkbühne Wuhlheide GmbH by the State of Berlin, represented by the Berlin Real Estate Fund, at the end of August 2007.
  In March 2008, the Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide was awarded the Live Entertainment Award for Location of the Year.
  In summer 2008, the Berlin band Die Ärzte (English: The Doctors) appeared for altogether over 100,000 visitors with six sold-out concerts.
  In summer 2011, The Kindl-Bühne Wuhlheide was voted Berlin’s Best Concert Location by Radio Eins listeners and was awarded with the first Radio Eins Hot Spot.
