UfaFabrik

The ufaFabrik is a cultural and cinema center located on a former film studio complex in Berlin's Tempelhof-Schöneberg district. The space features multiple theater halls, cinema screens, an open-air stage, a children's circus school, and a working farm that together offer diverse artistic and educational activities.

The site began in 1979 when artists peacefully occupied the former Universum Film AG studio grounds, where classic films like Metropolis were once made. Since then, it has developed into an independent cultural community that continues operating as a self-managed space today.

The site hosts regular theater performances, concerts, cabaret shows, and dance events that shape the cultural life of the neighborhood. Visitors experience a mix of professional productions and experimental performances that attract both local audiences and guests from around the city.

The site offers various facilities including a café, workshop spaces, and areas dedicated to different activities and classes. Signage and wayfinding help you navigate the grounds, and checking the website beforehand gives you current information about what is happening and when things are open.

The space operates with ecological principles including a green roof, an organic bakery, and a decentralized energy system maintained by a small resident community. This sustainability approach makes it an unusual example of how cultural spaces can integrate environmental responsibility into daily operations.
