Heilstätter Sommerfest Beelitz-Heilstätten

Beelitz-Heilstätten — The Special Place

Anyone visiting Beelitz-Heilstätten enters one of Brandenburg's most extraordinary architectural ensembles: 60 brick pavilions, built from 1898 onwards as a lung sanatorium for Berlin's LVA insured, later a Red Army hospital, then abandoned for decades. Today, the site in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district is being gradually renovated: housing, culture, tourism (Treetop Walkway), event spaces. The Heilstätter Sommerfest on Loris Campus is part of this cultural revival.

Loris Campus — The New Centre

Loris Campus is the central venue on the Heilstätten grounds, a restored pavilion section with a schoolyard stage, café, and multi-purpose rooms. The summer festival uses this location as its stage and focal point; food trucks, showmen, activity stations, and raffles are spread out around it.

Program: Family Day in a Lost-Place Atmosphere

The concept is a classic family day with a wink, given the setting: live music from regional bands on the schoolyard stage, food court with MONK (street food label), El Grano de Café, and Beelitz beer from Leipold & Boller, hands-on activities such as hands-on beekeeping, Kollektiv LOST with art projects, Fichtenwalde Fire Department with activities for children. Raffle, cake buffet, food court for all age groups.

Organizers and Significance

Quartier Beelitz-Heilstätten e.V. is the residents' and users' association of the renovated Heilstätten area. The summer festival serves not only as a leisure activity — it is a cultural-political self-affirmation: Beelitz-Heilstätten is alive again, the once-abandoned lost place is becoming a social meeting point. The exact date for 2026 will be announced in good time on qbh-ev.de (in the previous year, the date was in July/August, depending on the weather). Free admission.
