"Three things have remained with us from Paradise:
the stars, the flowers and children."
Dante Alighieri (1265 -1321 )
This Christmas the axica is proud to be able to help contribute to at least two of those paradise gems: children and flowers. The axica will be making a Christmas donation once again to the garden project of the SOS-Kinderdorf Berlin-Moabit, a school for under-privileged children.

According to Wikipedia a "red carpet" is described as follows: "A red carpet is
mostly a long carpet rolled out, upon which important or prominent VIPs (Stars,
senior political figures etc.) walk."
At the axica we consider all our guests to be VIPs from those attending scientific
symposiums, political debates to exclusive dinners. …

According to the definition of the German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology,
Hygiene is the "Learning how to prevent the spread of illness and the how to
maintain, promote and keep one's health". How important this subject is today
can be seen if one takes only a cursory glance at current headlines. Therefore it is
to be encouraged that catering establishments under-go regular hygiene controls.

Over the last years axica has been actively addressing the subject of sustainability in events, in particular “green meetings“. Initially the focus was on fine tuning the existing “hardware”, the modern and architecturally unique building and the refurbishment of the kitchens and equipment. Now the green spotlight is being shone on the „software“. Currently the cuisine on offer is virtually all regionally sourced produce and Chef de Cuisine Mirko Lummert is personally involved in the selection of all suppliers.

Over the summer the axica kitchens were a hive of building activity and as the
dust settled after many hours of hard work, like a phoenix rising from the ashes
out of the existing cantine, a brand new and perfectly formed show kitchen has
been created. It was certainly worth the wait!
"It is a great opportunity to show our guests right before their eyes how the
finishing touches are put into the dishes before they reach the table",
says Chef de Cuisine Mirko Lummert.

The heavens above Berlin’s Olympic Stadium were lit up red and silver (amongst other colours it must be said) on Friday after axica won the best "Designer Location" prize presented at the locationportale.de inaugural Location Awards ceremony in the Jesse Owens Lounge. That the event ran parallel to the Pyronale 2010 was purely coincidence, at least in the eyes of Christine Jost and Jule Schendler. Press release as PDF download »
Not only Saturday, in fact, all summer long in the axica is height fever – the time
of year when the steel and glass ceiling which covers and protects the
Frank O. Gehry architectural masterpiece from the elements all year round
must be cleaned and polished.
However, to balance suspended from a 30 m ceiling in extreme heat is a job that
requires more than just George Formby and his Ukulele!

The axica on the Pariser Platz 3 is ten years old!
Germany’s most exclusive back stage area! Great names such as U2, Status Quo, Peter Fox or Herbert Groenemeyer have graced the building with their presence over the last years, either receiving awards or using it as an exclusive back stage area for the legendary concerts held at the Brandenburg Gate. Live 8, the Football World Championships 2006 or the MTV Awards have all helped show Berlin in its best light, and the axica was never far from the centre of the action.

A picture paints a thousand words! Particularly so when trying to capture the many facets of Frank Gehry’s genius embodied in his unique building on Pariser Platz. In the axica Congress and Convention Centre it is not simply a case of “snapping” events, as each event is in itself something of a work of art.
From the very beginning the axica team has placed its trust in Nicole Fortin, artist and photographer.

eye:

After ten years faithful duty is time to part company with the good old KPM china at the axica and introduce something new! The search for an appropriate replacement led us to the wonderful architect and designer Walter Gropius. He was one of the early founders of the German Work Federation group of architects and also went on to be one of the leading creators of the Bauhaus movement in Weimar, which had an enormous influence on 20th century architecture in Germany and beyond.

For more than ten years now the axica, situated next to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin, has become known as one of the top addresses for exclusive events in the city. Still today one of the daily challenges facing the team is to try and explain to those not familiar with the building the extraordinary architecture and atmosphere of the building armed with words alone. No easy task given the elaborate form and design of the various rooms within. For that exact reason our already comprehensive internet site has been extended to add a new dimension: the axica location clip. … Press release as PDF download »
