Welcome to
the Conference and Event Centre
of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy
of Sciences and Humanities

The conference and event center is spacious and equipped with the latest amenities. It is mainly used for scientific conferences, lectures and podiums, but also for events with an official character that require a representative framework.

The Conference Centre

The Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities (formerly the Prussian Academy of Sciences) is situated at the Gendarmenmarkt in the heart of Berlin. With its interdisciplinary and international network of outstanding scholars and approximately 350 staff members, it is one of the largest non-university research institutes in the humanities in Germany.

The building, which today is frequented by guests from around the world, was originally built in 1902/03 for the Prussian Maritime Trade Company (Preußische Seehandlung), the later Prussian State Bank. Its historical banking hall was reconstructed for the 300th anniversary of the Academy and expanded into a conference and event centre that officially opened in 2002.

The Conference and Event Centre of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities is spacious and equipped with state-of-the-art amenities. It is primarily used for scientific conferences and lectures, but also hosts receptions requiring a prestigious setting.

For basic organizational matters and catering, the Centre maintains a professional and reliable service team with years of experience in supervising a wide range of events.
