Alte Försterei

Where else can you celebrate your high school graduation on a Bundesliga pitch? The Stadion an der Alten Försterei in Köpenick, home of 1. FC Union Berlin, transforms into a graduation ball location for graduates, offering a true stadium atmosphere, sporty charm, and surprisingly ample space for a festive evening.
Graduation Ball at the Stadium: The Alte Försterei as a Berlin Graduation Ball Location
An unusual, but all the more fun location for a graduation ball is the Stadion an der Alten Försterei. The stadium has been firmly rooted in Köpenick for over 100 years, nestled in the green of the Wuhlheide. The Alte Försterei can host a graduation ball for 100 to 600 graduates. This makes the stadium suitable for both medium-sized and larger graduating classes.
The graduation ball package includes a drink reception in the Mixed Zone in the afternoon, followed by the ceremonial speech, welcome, and certificate presentation via the stadium sound system. The buffet opens in the early evening. Students can freely compose their buffet from various appetizers, main courses, and desserts. This gives the evening a clear dramaturgy without seeming stiff.
Supporting Program and Infrastructure for an Unforgettable Graduation Evening
In addition to the main festive program, the Alte Försterei offers a supporting program that no ballroom can match. Stadium tours, goal wall shooting, a football quiz, and welcoming guests in the team changing room, on the main stand, or in the press conference room are among the extraordinary offerings of this location. This provides plenty of talking points long before the first playlist starts.
In the VIP area rooms and the stadium’s beer gardens, you can celebrate undisturbed, whether festively or rustically, elegantly or casually. Furthermore, the experienced on-site team takes care of the complete organization: the team designs, plans, and implements everything according to personal wishes, and the stadium has a comprehensive range of equipment and furniture. The stadium is also easily accessible by public transport and offers ample parking. For Berlin graduates planning their graduation ball in 2025 or 2026, an early inquiry is worthwhile.
