As one of Europe’s largest non-profit centers for children, youth, and families, FEZ-Berlin offers extensive opportunities for hosting events of any scale—from corporate trainings to festivals, fairs, and interactive shows.

History of FEZ-Berlin

The complex was established in 1979 as the Pionierpalast Ernst Thälmann, the largest children’s palace in the GDR. Following Germany’s reunification, it was transformed into a modern cultural and educational hub, renamed FEZ (Freizeit- und Erholungszentrum). Since then, it has become a symbol of progressive approaches to education and leisure. Today, FEZ-Berlin is more than just a cultural space; it’s a hub for ideas, connection, and events.
