Culture meets tourism: Reinickendorf takes off with a new concept!

The first tourist working meeting with cultural workers took place in Tegel on October 8, 2025. District mayor Emine Demirbüken-Wegner (CDU) welcomed the around 40 participants, who were made up of representatives from institutions, venues and cultural associations. The exchange highlighted the inseparable connection between culture and tourism in the Reinickendorf district. A significant aspect of the meeting was the presentation of the agreed tourism concept for Reinickendorf, which serves as an important basis for the district office's economic development berlin.de reported.

The newly developed tourism model 2030+ defines Reinickendorf as a district that offers both cultural enjoyment and relaxation in the countryside. The event in the inspiring coworking space BEYDES created a creative platform for presenting planned projects for the coming year. The intensive personal exchange between the guests was greatly appreciated and perceived as a valuable networking opportunity. The concept of greater cooperation between local actors was received extremely positively. The event ended with a tour of the coworking space, which many experienced as a personal new discovery in Reinickendorf.

Commitment and networking in the district

The Berlin-Reinickendorf Tourism Association plays a central role in promoting tourism in the district. It acts as an interest group for the tourism industry and has set itself the goal of integrating tourism providers and economic players into a long-term network. This is done through measures to increase regional attractiveness and identity, as well as through regional location marketing that puts the district and the club members in the spotlight. The Berlin Reinickendorf district office works closely with the association to operate the TouristInfo, which informs both tourists and residents about the tourist offerings in Reinickendorf reinickendorf-berlin.de reported.

Since its founding in February 2006, the tourism association has continuously carried out public relations work and established an important website. The board consists of Ms. Sabine Dobschanski (Ibis Berlin City Nord) and Mr. Christian Garbrecht (Stern and Kreisschiffahrt) and represents various sectors from the hotel and hospitality industry as well as retail. The increased networking and visibility will lay the foundation for sustainable tourism in the district.

The efforts to promote tourism in Reinickendorf are therefore a step into the future that brings both culture and economy in harmony in the district.
