Die Eierschale, Jazz club and inn in Steglitz-Zehlendorf, Germany.
Die Eierschale is a jazz club and inn with two levels and an outdoor seating area located in the Zehlendorf district of Berlin. The interior features gold-trimmed ceilings, decorative wall paintings, and multiple chandeliers that create an ornate and welcoming ambiance.
Founded by trombonist Hawe Schneider in the 1950s, the club initially operated in Schöneberg before moving to its current Zehlendorf location in 1977. This relocation marked a significant turning point in its development as a music venue.
The name translates to 'eggshell' and refers to the room's rounded shape that encloses guests. Musicians and listeners gather in a close, warm setting lit by chandeliers, creating an intimate space where people connect through live jazz.
The establishment sits near the U-Bahn station Podbielskiallee at Podbielskiallee 50 in Zehlendorf. It is recommended to contact the venue in advance by phone or email to secure a table for your visit.
During its peak years in West Berlin, the venue hosted performances by jazz legends Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald. These appearances have shaped its enduring reputation as a significant chapter in Berlin's jazz history.
