Admission
Admission is free. No tickets are required.
Students, teachers and staff of the UdK Berlin as well as external participants in the Rundgang program receive priority admission on all days. Registration is required for this.
We ask all students, teachers and staff of the UdK Berlin as well as all program participants to register early to ensure smooth admission. Only those who are registered and can show a wristband will be given priority admission.
Information on registration can be soon found here. The employee or student ID alone does not allow priority admission to the event.
To ensure that our security concept can be adhered to, there will be an admission restriction for the locations Hardenbergstraße 33 and Grunewaldstraße 2–5. This was determined in advance on the basis of the security concept and the fire protection proposal. If admission is temporarily stopped, this may be because the upper limit for the number of people in the building has been reached.
At the entrance, the security service also ensures that no dangerous objects or glass bottles are brought into the building.
You can find the opening hours of the Rundgang 2025 here. Please note that these differ from the regular opening hours of the locations during the Rundgang.

Awareness / Code of Coduct
The UdK Berlin is a place of artistic and academic freedom and of critical but always respectful exchange. We ask for an open mind for diverse perspectives. We do not tolerate hate speech and discrimination.
You can read the UdK Berlin Code of Conduct here.
To make the Rundgang 2025 safe for everyone, an awareness team will be present on all days at the Hardenbergstraße 33 and on the opening day at the Grunewaldstraße 2–5. You will recognize the members of the awareness team by their purple vests with the label “Awareness”.
Should you feel uncomfortable or observe inappropriate behaviour, please contact the awareness team or the security staff. This applies without exception for all locations on the Rundgang. The telephone number of the awareness team will be published here on July 18.
The awareness team is staffed by employees from the Access Network. The Access Network combines classic security tasks with a feminist approach, discrimination-sensitive working methods, communicative solution strategies, self-critical reflection and an awareness approach. We also have awareness staff at the door to mediate in potential conflict situations.

Safety
In order to make the event safe for everyone, trained staff will be on site for security, fire safety and the implementation of the awareness concept.
The use of professionally trained security personnel is mandatory by law for public events of the size of the Rundgang. The tasks of the security service include admission at Hardenbergstrasse 33 and Grunewaldstrasse 2–5 as well as securing the event, i.e. its visitors, equipment and infrastructure. The security personnel wear green vests with the label "Security".
There are also employees who are on site to ensure fire protection. You can recognize them by their red vests with the label "Brandschutz".
An external awareness team is on site for conflict situations. You can recognize this team by the purple vests with the label "Awareness". The awareness team is also present at the entrance to the Hardenbergstraße 33 site.
The employees have received extensive training prior to the Rundgang. The handout on the briefing can be accessed in advance and will be published here in July.
The task of the security personnel on site is also to prevent damage to property, vandalism, theft and to guard and secure material and infrastructure. Damage to property or theft should be reported to the security personnel or the event management.
This year, the company Boretti Solutions has been commissioned to provide security for the event.
Wristbands
Members of the Berlin University of the Arts can pick up a wristband at the ticket counter in the concert hall foyer from Monday, July 15, 2024, after registering in advance. Registration and wristbands are required to receive priority admission to the Rundgang.
