Press factsheet

Wellenwerk Berlin opened in November 2019 at Landsberger Allee 270 in Berlin, featuring a citywave®, an artificially generated, standing deepwater wave. The wave reaches up to 1.6 meters high, the pool measures 10 × 18 meters, and the water stays at around 27°C year-round. The hall covers roughly 1,000 m², with more than 50 sessions held every week. A support bar makes getting started possible even without prior experience.

Wellenwerk was founded by a seven-person team, financed through equity, bank loans, and public grants. The hall runs on 100% green electricity and uses its own heat recovery system.

As a contest venue, Wellenwerk has hosted the German Indoor Surfing Championship since 2020, runs its own competition with the Berlin Surf Open (held three times so far: 2023, 2024, 2025), and was a stop on the nationwide o2 SURF MASTERS Tour in 2026.
