Kunstquatier Bethanien in Kreuzberg - Part 1





 Welcome to the Kunstquatier Bethanien (The Art Center Bethanien).

It's a place for art and culture located at the Mariannenplatz near Kottbusser Tor in Kreuzberg.













The institute Bethanien was constructed 1845 -47 as a central deaconess institute. The hospital was in use till 1970. The demolition was hindered by squatters, initiative groups and historic building conservationist. Then predominantly cultural, artistic and social institutions have been working in the main bulding.  
Have a look at this beautiful building.






The Kunstquatier Bethanien is a place of interdisciplinary work. 
There are spaces for art exhibitions including artist studios, project spaces for exhibitions, theatre and dance. The music school also has a place. You find a lovely cafe, restaurant as well. The Mime Centrum Berlin is an information and documentation centre as well as working spaces for dance and theatre makers.
