48 Stunden Neukölln

The 2025 edition continued the format established in 1999: one weekend, three days, the entire district as a stage. Performances, exhibitions, readings, concerts, DJ sets, workshops, and backyard encounters formed the spectrum. Despite political and budgetary challenges for Berlin's cultural landscape, the festival maintained its scale of around 300 locations.

Heterogeneity remained the hallmark: from established studios in Reuterkiez to student initiatives at Tempelhofer Feld to German-Arabic readings around Hermannplatz. In 2025, 48 Stunden Neukölln remained what it had been since its inception: a showcase for a Berlin rarely visible in Mitte and Charlottenburg.
