Practical information

Everything you need on the mountain, available offline.

Three Days, Two Campsites, One Shared Journey

Thursday 17 September, 14:00–19:00 — Teufelsberg. Walk up, Welcome Session, five parallel sessions, then the walk back down.
Friday 18 September, 10:00–22:00 — Medulla, Dresdener Straße 113B in Kreuzberg/Mitte. Not on the mountain. One morning session, two parallel afternoon sessions, then the Field Assembly in the evening.
Saturday 19 September, 14:00–20:00 — Teufelsberg again. Walk up, five parallel sessions, Closing Session, walk down.
The program moves through Berlin on purpose: the mountain for perception and exploration, the city for gathering the field, then back to the mountain to turn refined questions into next steps.

Registration runs entirely through Luma, one event at a time — including the walks. Open a session in this app and tap Register on Luma.
Session blocks hold several sessions running at once. Please pick only one per time slot. Save the ones you want here and the app will warn you about clashes.
The Berlin Heat Risk Clinic on Saturday is by invitation only.
Some sessions require host approval, so a registration may sit as pending for a while.

There is a contribution of €5 per day to Teufelsberg for each day you are up on the mountain — Thursday and Saturday.
It goes to the site, which hosts the Camp as a partner rather than as a rented venue.
Please bring it in cash.

The Camp describes itself as a volunteer-developed prototype and is intentionally simple in how it is organised. Expect to help.
It is a shared learning space for people already working on societal, institutional, technological and ecological challenges.
Sessions state their working language and the perspectives they are looking for — worth reading before you register.

Walks are a core ritual of the Camp, not transport. There is one up and one down on both Thursday and Saturday, and each has its own Luma event.
Meeting point for the walk up: the Würst’l stand right outside S Heerstraße station.
The route takes about 30 minutes alone, 40 as a group. The group leaves an hour before sessions start — be punctual, and note the S-Bahn only runs every 10 minutes.
The walk down goes back through the forest to S Heerstraße and is used to continue conversations and process the day.

Shoes you can walk 40 minutes uphill in, on an unpaved forest track.
Warm layers and a rain shell. Mid-September on the mountain runs roughly 12–20 °C and the site is exposed.
A refillable bottle, and a power bank — sockets on site are limited.
Cash for the €5 daily contribution to Teufelsberg.
For Friday: something to share at the potluck lunch, and your own drinks for the Field Assembly.
The question, decision or practice you are actually carrying. Most sessions are working sessions, not talks.

Teufelsberg, 14055 Berlin. S-Bahn S3 or S5 to Heerstraße, then about 30 minutes on foot through the Grunewald.
The Welcome and Closing Sessions are in the Beatgarden, an inner courtyard open strictly to Campers on Thursday and Saturday.
The site is a former military installation and parts of it are not maintained. Stay on marked routes.

Medulla, Dresdener Straße 113B, 10179 Berlin — in the courtyard, in Kreuzberg/Mitte, not on the mountain.
U8 to Moritzplatz or U1/U3 to Kottbusser Tor, then a few minutes on foot.
Roughly 45 minutes from Teufelsberg by public transport, so do not plan to move between the two on the same day.

There is no parking on the grounds of the listening station, or on the access road, which is private.
Free parking is available at the Teufelsberg car park, before the private road begins, and at the car park at the end of Teufelsseechaussee.
From either car park it is a 10-minute walk up the private road to the Camp.

The buildings are unfortunately not fully accessible and can only be reached via stairs.
People in wheelchairs or with severe mobility impairments can reach the 360° observation deck in the tower building via an open outdoor lift.
The lift may only be operated by trained staff, so please write to touren@teufelsberg-berlin.de at least 1–2 days before your visit to arrange it.
The “Declassified” and “Allies in Berlin” exhibitions are accessible.

Friday, 12:00–13:00 at Medulla: a potluck shared lunch. Bring something to share if you can.
Friday, 18:00–22:00 at Medulla: the Field Assembly. Bring your own drinks, and food to share.
Thursday and Saturday on the mountain are not catered. Bring what you need for the afternoon.

Mobile coverage on Teufelsberg is patchy and unreliable, especially inside the buildings.
This app works fully offline once you have opened it on a network. The program, the map and this page are stored on your device.
Open the sessions you have saved before you set off from S Heerstraße, so the details are cached.

Sessions run in German or English, and each states its working language with openness to contributions in the other.
This app shows a language chip on every session. Descriptions are shown in the facilitators' own words, in the language they wrote them.
Filter the program by language if you want only sessions you can fully follow.

Emergency number in Germany: 112 (fire and ambulance), 110 (police).
Teufelsberg is a former military installation with unmaintained sections and steep, uneven ground. Stay on marked routes and do not enter fenced areas.
The forest paths are unlit. The Saturday walk down leaves at 19:00, close to sunset — do not stay on the mountain alone after dark.
Nearest hospital to Teufelsberg: DRK Kliniken Berlin Westend, Spandauer Damm 130.

100 days before: transdisciplinary alliance-building — administration meets civil society, science meets neighbourhood, security meets culture, business meets activism.
3 days on site: storytelling and rituals, workshops and ideathons, walks and discourses, prototyping and alliances.
100 days after: responsibilities are clarified, micro-infrastructures consolidated, work integrated into the district, and findings documented for bioregions beyond Berlin.
