A new generation of events

The Estrel, renowned for its cutting-edge technology and expertise, can make the events of your dreams into reality. Our 50-strong events team, which includes ten production managers, specialist planners, and five trainees, is always on-hand to support clients with extensive technical know-how. Whether it’s lighting, sound, video and projection technology, rigging, stage technology or technical planning, the team addresses our clients’ every need with passion and dedication.

Last year, the Estrel hit the ground running, welcoming 145,763 total guests to over 1,000 individual events.

One of the highlights of the past year was the trade union conference of the German Civil Servants' Association (dbb), which the Estrel saw all the way from planning to the final touches on decorations. Around 1,000 voting delegates and guest delegates from all areas of the civil service sector and from across Germany attended. For the first time in Estrel history, we built an LED screen 45 metres wide and 5 metres tall, which ran lengthways along the entire side wall of the gigantic Estrel Convention Hall. 155 gala tables and 350 banquet tables were set up for the evening festivities. Planning was set in motion two and a half years prior to the conference itself, but setup began only days before – an almost record turnaround for an event of this scale.

This year too, the Estrel has unique events on the horizon. Thomas Herzberg, Head of Event Technology, and Thomas Anemüller, Team Leader for Stages & Decoration, are looking forward to each and every one, as “every event deserves respect in its implementation and a unique flair, and should become a cherished memory for its guests for years to come”.

The two event technicians' favourite challenge is putting together particularly creative events that aim for the “wow” factor with show-stopping embellishments – so they can tell from just a glance at guests’ faces that the event has exceeded all expectations.
