SV Berliner Brauereien e.V. Abt. Tennis
SV Berliner Brauereien operates six clay courts in Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg, where Lichtenberg, Friedrichshain, and Hohenschönhausen border each other. All courts have floodlights, and around 350 active members belong to the tennis department. Among the tennis courts in Berlin, this is one of the few that are entirely located within a park.
SV Berliner Brauereien: Clay Courts in Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg
The tennis department of SV Berliner Brauereien e.V. is located on Hohenschönhauser Straße and thus entirely within Volkspark Prenzlauer Berg. Around the courts are trees instead of building walls, and because the park starts exactly where Prenzlauer Berg, Friedrichshain, Lichtenberg, and Hohenschönhausen border each other, the facility is reachable from several districts within minutes. Tram lines M5, M6, M13, and 16 stop at Hohenschönhauser Straße directly in front of the entrance. From the street, the facility is barely visible; you turn off and suddenly find yourself among trees.
Play takes place on six clay courts, all equipped with floodlights. Additionally, there are tennis walls for training without a partner. The walls are also available when no court is free and are well suited for warming up. There is no indoor hall on the premises, so play is limited to the outdoor season. Children’s and youth training moves to two sports halls in the neighborhood during the colder months, allowing young players to continue training year-round.
Membership and Club Life at SV Berliner Brauereien
Around 350 active members belong to the department, and SV Berliner Brauereien distinguishes between two types of membership: one for those who want to participate in league matches and training programs, and one for casual players. The annual fee is 300 Euros for the ambitious option and 200 Euros for the relaxed option, with booking rights differing accordingly. Those who choose the ambitious option can hold more reservations simultaneously and plan further in advance. The courts are exclusively reserved for members; bookings are made online via the club’s reservation system.
Once a year, on the last weekend of April, the club opens its facility to interested individuals who wish to try out a racket and discuss membership. However, currently, the demand is so high that no new members are being accepted. In the youth section, the club fields three teams in league play, and unusually for a Berlin tennis club, it maintains its own English-language page for newcomers. What is striking is how little fuss the club makes about itself: no clubhouse, no gastronomy, just six well-maintained courts and short distances.
