Gallery

Germany’s first HipHop Ball transformed the Rotes Rathaus into a space where diversity, creativity, and culture came together in a truly unique way. With 600 guests, more than 150 artists, and four distinct program areas, the evening brought to life what Berlin’s Governing Mayor Kai Wegner summed up perfectly: “It has never been this cool inside the Rotes Rathaus.”

From the graffiti vernissage and the pre-ball dinner to the opening ceremony with the Deutsche Sinfonietta and the Flying Steps, all the way to the midnight showcase and international performances — the night demonstrated how seamlessly classical tradition, urban arts, and social diversity can blend.

This gallery captures the most powerful moments of an evening that combined emotion, elegance, and urban expression — and proved that Berlin is ready for new cultural traditions.

Welcome to a visual journey through a truly historic premiere night.
