Revierpark Wischlingen GmbH

What Revierpark Wischlingen GmbH does

Revierpark Wischlingen GmbH is a municipal event venue operator headquartered in Dortmund, Germany, operating the Eventzentrum Wischlingen — a 39-hectare park combining natural landscape (lake, forest, meadows) with three signature event venues: the Festwiese open-air meadow (up to 15,000 guests), the Eventhalle indoor hall (up to 1,800 guests with winter ice-rink functionality), and Pilina Beach (3,000 m² urban beach, up to 2,500 guests). The company is wholly owned by the City of Dortmund as a private limited liability company (GmbH) and was founded in 1979.

The company's core product is a vertically integrated, full-service event agency offering venue rental, event concept and planning, technical production, on-site management, and permit/safety management. Revenue is generated through four streams: venue rental (one-time license), full-service event management (professional services), on-site F&B including the Pisten-Alm gastronomy and beach bar (transaction-based), and add-on activity modules — Adventure Golf (18-hole course), Disc Golf Center, Tree2Tree high ropes course, and Eisstockschießen — operated via tenant/partner agreements. The Winter Wonderland Christmas format and Pilina Beach summer venue extend seasonal utility across the calendar year.

The go-to-market is direct, event-driven, and regional: prospects submit inquiries via Microsoft Forms categorized by event type, followed by dedicated project managers (David Strott, Joscha Lässig). Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed. The customer base spans five verticals — Corporate Events, MICE, Live Events, Public Events, and Sports Events — with anchor clients including Borussia Dortmund (corporate), Dionysos Events / PollerWiesen Festival (live music), and several regional event production firms. Marketing relies on the company website, digital brochures via Canva, an event calendar, email outreach, and Facebook with tracking pixels; no intermediaries, resellers, or paid acquisition channels are used.
