Schloss Bröllin

What Schloss Bröllin does

Schloss Bröllin (legal entity: schloss bröllin e.V., Vereinsregister Nr. 68, Amtsgericht Pasewalk) is a registered German nonprofit association operating an international art research location and production center for the performing arts in Fahrenwalde, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The organization sits on a 53,000 m² estate that includes three rehearsal studios (Studio I with a 108 m² stage, Studio II at 127 m² with 80 seats, Studio III at 126 m²), the 770 m² Florian-Vogelfrei-Halle production hall, the German-Polish Center (DPZ) for conferences, seminar rooms, guest accommodations, catering facilities, and outdoor performance areas. It serves international and German artist groups working in dance, performance, contemporary circus, theater, and interdisciplinary arts, as well as cultural organizations and companies seeking event venues.

The core product is the annual Residenzprogramm, a jury-selected residency offering 10-14 day stays with rehearsal space, accommodation, meals, and possible travel subsidies. An average of 12-14 ensembles is selected each year from international applications submitted during the May-October call window. Supporting revenue streams include space rental to external groups and organizations, and catering/hospitality services priced on a custom-quote basis with special rates for artists per the association charter. The technical infrastructure comprises sprung dance floors, lighting and sound systems, black dance carpet, blackout capability, and rigging for circus acts; there are no proprietary software platforms, APIs, or AI/ML components.

The go-to-market is event-driven rather than sales-driven: the residency is filled via an annual jury-selected application cycle, while commercial space rental is captured through website booking requests and direct email/phone contact. Marketing is conducted through the company website, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, an email newsletter, and memberships in international artist-residency networks (RES ARTIS, ADIR, Nationales Performance Netz, flausen+). The organization is governed by legal representatives Katharina Husemann (acting Geschäftsführung), Wibke Janssen, Joachim Mohr, and Stefan Zimmermann, with a small operating team across booking, administration, PR, guest services, residency, youth work, and civic programming. Funding is primarily institutional — the Ministry for Science, Culture, Federal and European Affairs of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the district of Vorpommern-Greifswald — supplemented by grants from the Fonds Darstellende Künste (NEUSTART KULTUR / BKM) and EU programs (BtAIR, 2026-2030).
