Neu-Tempelhof – A Berlin Residential Quarter with Tradition
Neu-Tempelhof is a residential area in the Tempelhof district (Tempelhof-Schöneberg borough), which originated as a garden city settlement during the Weimar Republic and remains a clearly defined quarter to this day – with its own points of identification such as the Protestant Paulus Church and the Parkring, a loop-shaped street that encircles the quarter. The Kiezfest is one of the most important dates in the summer quarter calendar.
Four Organizers, One Festival
The festival is jointly organized by four initiatives: the Protestant Paulus Church community (community centre and rectory garden), Parkring e.V. (residents' association), KuKuK e.V. (cultural initiative), and Futur:ista e.V. (sustainability and future initiative). This broad base of organizers also explains the festival's thematic scope: ranging from a classic community festival (coffee and cake in the rectory garden) to a cultural program (live music, dance) and discussions on sustainable urban development and local history.
Format and Program
The festival usually takes place on a Saturday in summer (July), in the afternoon and early evening. Local musicians and dance groups perform on a small stage in the area between Paulus Church and Parkring bridge; a ska band is also traditionally featured as the musical highlight of the evening. Around the stage, there are stands from the participating associations, the Neu-Tempelhof History Workshop, scouts, and the Organ Support Association. The children's program includes games and craft activities.
Catering in the Rectory Garden
Catering is co-organized by the Paulus Church community: coffee and cake in the rectory garden, barbecue buffet with salads, non-alcoholic drinks. Prices are at cost – the festival is financed primarily by the funds of the organizing associations and a small district grant, not from sales revenue.
Kiezfest Neu-Tempelhof — edition 2026
The 2026 edition will follow the established format of recent years: a summer afternoon, jointly supported by four initiatives from the neighbourhood, featuring a classic Kiezfest program with a stage, catering, and children's activities. The exact date will be announced by the organizing alliance in advance.
Those wishing to attend in 2026 should consult the website of the organizing alliance (gemeinsam-in-tempelhof-schoeneberg.de) and the notices in the Paulus Church and around the neighbourhood from spring onwards. Communication is primarily local – the festival is clearly aimed at the residents of Neu-Tempelhof and the surrounding neighbourhoods.
