Lange Nacht der Bilder Lichtenberg

District-wide Art Night in East Berlin

The Lange Nacht der Bilder Lichtenberg is the annual art and culture night of the Lichtenberg district. For over two decades, on a Friday in early September, it has transformed the entire district into an open cultural landscape: over 50 venues open their doors, with more than 100 program items spread across all neighborhoods from Karlshorst and Friedrichsfelde to Lichtenberg-Mitte and Fennpfuhl, and on to Hohenschönhausen and Wartenberg.

Workshops, Galleries, Cultural Centers, Schools

Participating venues include studios (often not publicly accessible otherwise), galleries such as Galerie 100, Studio im Hochhaus, or the Kulturhaus Karlshorst, club rooms, schools with exhibition spaces, and cultural centers like the Mies van der Rohe House. Many locations also feature concerts, performances, readings, and guided tours.

Friday, 6 PM to Midnight

The Lange Nacht is open from 6 PM to midnight. The participating venues are spread across the entire district; it's worth carefully reading the program flyer – the distances are significant. The district office recommends either focusing on a specific neighborhood (e.g., Karlshorst or Hohenschönhausen) or arriving by bike.

Organizers and Spirit

The organizers are the Lichtenberg District Office, Department of Art and Culture (Contact: Wiebke Volkmann), and Kulturring Berlin e.V.. The Lange Nacht aims to bridge the gap between an often underestimated local art scene and the general public. Free admission – a format that makes the Lichtenberg district visible in its diversity.
