What is Wellenwerk Berlin?

Wellenwerk is Berlin’s first indoor surf wave. An artificial wave lets you surf—regardless of the weather—right in the heart of the city. The facility opened on November 22, 2019, in Lichtenberg, on the former site of the Berliner Wasserbetriebe. You can reach the Wellenwerk by taking tram lines M5, M6, or 16 to the Genslerstraße stop, or by car in about ten minutes from Alexanderplatz.

How does Citywave® wave technology work?

The artificial wave at Wellenwerk is generated using Citywave® wave technology. It is 8.5 meters wide and up to 1.60 meters high. This makes it the widest indoor wave in Germany and the highest in the world. You can adjust the wave height continuously between 1.20 meters for beginners and 1.60 meters for advanced swimmers. The pool is 18 meters long, and the water and air temperatures are kept at a constant 25 degrees.

How sustainable is Wellenwerk Berlin?

The sustainable use of resources is an essential part of the Wellenwerk concept. The entire facility is powered by 100% green electricity from hydropower, which propels the water over an adjustable ramp, thereby creating the wave. An innovative heat recovery system captures the waste heat from the wave. This energy heats the facility, the process water, and several neighboring buildings. As a result, the Wellenwerk loses virtually no energy.

What equipment do you need?

If you don't have your own surfboard, a suitable board is included in the ticket price for every regular kids', beginner, and intermediate session. If you have your own board, you may bring it, but you must have it approved by staff before use. The facility is best suited for specialized riverboards and not for long ocean surfboards.

How does a session work?

Check in about 30 minutes before the session starts. You’ll receive a safety briefing, as well as a wetsuit and a softboard. As a beginner, you’ll start by practicing with the handrail at the edge of the pool. After that, you’ll head into the wave without the handrail. Even if you’re an experienced ocean surfer, you should book a beginner session first, since the technique differs from that used on ocean waves.

How long does a session at Wellenwerk last?

A session at Wellenwerk lasts between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the session type. For beginner and intermediate sessions, you have 90 minutes: 45 minutes for warm-up and briefing, and 45 minutes for surfing. The training session lasts 60 minutes. The shortest session is the intensive training session, which lasts 30 minutes but takes place in a smaller group with more waves per person.

Who is Wellenwerk Berlin best suited for?

The Wellenwerk is designed for families, groups of friends, and couples. It’s perfect for your first visit as well as for regular sessions. A coach guides you through every session. Wave height and current speed can be adjusted continuously, so surfers of all skill levels can ride the waves on the same system. Beginners benefit from the handrail, while advanced surfers and pros take full advantage of the wave height.

Surfing with physical limitations: People with physical limitations can also surf. Since each case is unique, the team asks that you register in advance via the Wellenwerk contact page so they can make the necessary preparations.

Who is not allowed to surf at Wellenwerk?

For safety reasons, individuals with certain health conditions are strictly prohibited from participating. These include: individuals with acute injuries or open wounds, cardiovascular diseases, acute back, joint, or shoulder pain, as well as pregnant women.
