HomeBerminmitte Festival 2023 asks to have a say: What should the heart of the city look like?

The Mitte Berlin Foundation organizes the Mitte-Fest 2023 in the Parochial Church from September 1 to 3. Visitors have the opportunity to take part in exhibitions, city tours, lectures and discussions about the Great Jews and the gray monastery. The aim of the event is to inform the public about the recovery of the Berlin city center and to discuss the design of the large areas in the old center of Berlin.

The focus of this year's festival is the focus of the future of the Great Jews and the gray monastery. The Senator for Economic Affairs Franziska Giffey (SPD) will open the festival on September 1 at 5:30 p.m. Admission to the festival and the city tours through the Mitte Berliner is free. There will be an exhibition with information on the middle, the big Jüdenhof and the gray monastery. In addition, current designs for the gray monastery are presented. In addition to play stations and live music, there will also be culinary offers as well as evening lectures and discussions. Representatives of citizens' associations and foundations that are committed to the middle for many years are available to visitors for questions on all three days. A detailed program will be published promptly.

Benedikt Goebel, deputy chairman of the Mitte Berlin Foundation, emphasizes that the festival is also a request to make itself aware that the most central and most interesting place in the city currently has a utility value for the few residents. The foundation wishes that the Berliners are not only proud of their new middle, but also love them. The interest applies not only to your own houses or apartments, but also the beautiful new Berlin Mitte. The Mitte Berlin Foundation is committed to a dense city district with attractive roads and squares and supports the construction of new houses in the city floor plan of the 1920s instead of oversized traffic and open spaces.

The Mitte Berlin Foundation was founded in 2022 by the entrepreneur and author Marie-Luise Schwarz-Schilling. She is committed to ensuring that the center of Berlin becomes a living and attractive place. The HomeBerminmitte Festival 2023 offers visitors the opportunity to actively participate in the design of the middle and to contribute their ideas. It is not just about the creation of new infrastructure, but above all about creating a lively and lovable middle that is valued by both the Berliners themselves and by visitors from all over the world.
