20.00 - 23.00 | Welcome Reception with Buffet Dinner at KOSMOS KOSMOS was opened in 1961 as a prestige project of the German Democratic Republic (GDR), as the most modern film theatre in the country. In a time when the whole world stood wide-eyed to see who would conquer space, the architects Josef Kaiser, Herbert Aust and Guenter Kunert went with the spirit of the times and let their creation be shaped by the space race – even the inside lights are built to appear as the jets of a space rocket. With 1001 seats, KOSMOS was the largest and most popular film theatre in the GDR, where several DEFA films had their premieres. The 1990 Berlin Film Festival was marked by the fall of the Wall and KOSMOS in East Berlin was one of the festival cinemas. Guests from Hollywood celebrated the start of this Berlinale here, which showed their films in the GDR for the first time. Preserving the original architectural style of the building was a top priority during its extensive modernisation in 1996. Dress Code: Smart casual |

Built between 1709 and 1712 as an elongated one-storied Baroque building, it primarily served to protect the extensive orange, bitter orange and lemon tree collection of the Hohenzollern family during the winter months. In the summer the Orangery was used as a prestigious venue for balls, receptions and wedding celebrations. After being heavily damaged during World War II, the renovation of the exterior was completed in 1962. Dress Code: Smart casual |

19.00 - 03.00 | Gala Dinner at Berlin Tempelhof Tempelhof Airport in its current form was built between 1936 and 1941 according to the plans of Ernst Sagebiel. The biggest monument of Europe, which stands for monumental self-staging of the Nazis, has become a symbol of freedom because of the airlift of 1948/49. The last plane landed here in 2008, in 2010 the area became public greenspace. The former runway is now mobbed with wind-carters and joggers, while the airport's interior with its retro check-in desks, analogue clocks and neon signs is a flashback to the golden age of air travel.
