Confirmed open against a source on 2 August 2026. Source: Berliner Zeitung. 52.48351, 13.43354.

Practical

The address is Donaustraße 115, 12043 Berlin, near U8 Boddinstraße. The current venue listing gives Tuesday to Saturday programming from about 19:30, with event times varying by night. The official venue and current event pages list the program. They list no general current admission price, so ticket cost is UNVERIFIED after a price check on 2026-08-02. The room holds a maximum of about 50 guests, and the current listing advises arriving early because it fills. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]

Times and seasons

The current listings place the main program from Tuesday to Saturday, usually from 19:30. The sources give no reliable seasonal difference, so that point is UNVERIFIED. [1][2]

Who it suits, and when

Donau115 suits listeners who want experimental jazz and improvised music in a focused room. People seeking a large dance floor, background conversation, or a broad pop program may avoid it because conversation during concerts is discouraged and the room is small. A rough visit takes two to three hours, based on the evening concert format, and this is an estimate. [1][2][3]

What is not obvious

The venue began as a living room and bar for friends and neighbors before developing into a concert room. [1]

History

Niklas Alt and Chad R. Matheny opened Donau115 in 2012 as a living room and bar for friends and the neighborhood. The venue received an APPLAUS award in 2015. [1][2]
