Fennpfuhl – a district with its own sound

Fennpfuhl is a Berlin district in the Lichtenberg borough, completely re-planned in the 1970s – prefabricated buildings around the artificially created Fennpfuhl lake, with a central park and lake terraces. Today, a socially mixed population lives here, with a high proportion of families and older people. It is precisely here that the BENN Fennpfuhl neighbourhood management, together with the Lichtenberg District Office, has been organising FENN DE LA MUSIQUE for several years – a music festival in the park that marks the German and Berlin start of Lichtenberg's cultural summer.

Opening of the Lichtenberg Cultural Summer

The Lichtenberg Cultural Summer has been running annually since 2024 from June 21st (Fête de la Musique day) until the end of September. It bundles events from the district's cultural institutions – including the Haubrok Foundation, the Dark Matter light art museum, the Democracy Campus at the Stasi headquarters, the Hohenschönhausen-Lichtenberg Memorial, and the Berlin Zoo – into a joint programme. District Mayor Martin Schaefer describes the initiative as proof that "Lichtenberg has developed into a vibrant cultural and creative centre in Berlin".

FENN DE LA MUSIQUE as the Kick-off

FENN DE LA MUSIQUE in Fennpfuhlpark provides the official start. The lake terraces by the water offer a natural stage area; its direct location among the high-rise residential buildings makes the event a dedicated neighbourhood festival. Programme: local bands and solo artists from the district and the borough, plus small participatory activities, a drinks and snacks stand, free admission for everyone.

BENN Fennpfuhl – Neighbourhood Management as Organizer

BENN stands for "Berlin Develops New Neighbourhoods" – a Senate programme that has established active neighbourhood management structures in several Berlin districts. BENN Fennpfuhl has been on site since 2018 and is responsible for numerous district formats, from neighbourhood lounges to summer festivals. FENN DE LA MUSIQUE is one of the largest and most visible formats.
