Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch

In the location's words:

The historic toilet facility at the Wildenbruch Bridge is a whimsical place with an extraordinary charm. The facility was converted into an experimental cultural venue unique in Berlin in the summer of 2021. The Kunstbrücke am Wildenbruch includes four small exhibition spaces that still recall its original use.

The outdoor area includes a large art wall, which is an eye-catcher from the opposite bank, as well as the old landing stage on the Neukölln shipping canal. At this - due to its location and history - unusual "little place", young Berlin artists and curators develop a wide variety of projects - from exhibitions to various events to actions in public space.

Unusual art and cultural spaces, for which Berlin was famous for a long time, are disappearing more and more from the cityscape. Events in such places are still very popular with young and old; artists long for spaces that provoke an engagement with them. The historic toilet facility at the Wildenbruch Bridge is tailor-made to provide an answer to this. This uniquely "weird" place can inspire artists and visitors with its specific charisma in a completely different way than the white cubes that are common in the art world. Its spacious outdoor facilities provide an excellent stage for a wide variety of cultural events.

Since the redevelopment of the Weigandufer, the area has regained its function as a local recreation area, which it already had a good hundred years ago: Then as now, people enjoy strolling along the leafy riverbank promenade, playing sports and enjoying nature on the benches in Wildenbruchpark. The Kunstbrücke complements this leisure offering with a cultural experience: the municipal art venue is accessible to all without entrance fees.

Thus, the Kunstbrücke has the potential to become both a popular meeting place in the neighborhood and to attract attention as a special location throughout Berlin.
