EULAR Congress Dinner at the Station Berlin (Dresdner Bahnhof)
Friday, 8 June 2012 20:30-24:00
Price: EUR 95 per person
The EULAR 2012 Congress Dinner will be hosted in the "Old Station, Berlin" (also known as the "Dresdner Bahnhof"). The Congress Dinner is a great opportunity to see and experience a historically significant building while enjoying a relaxed dinner and entertainment with colleagues from around the world. The original Station building was opened in 1875 and facilitated travel between Berlin and Dresden for a mere 7 years when tensions between the Prussian and Saxony railway administrations put a halt to its operations.
The original Station was demolished in 1887 and the building that stands on the same location today was opened in 1913 and was used as the largest package hub of Berlin until 1997. Today, although no longer used as a station, it represents all the characteristics of a charming industrial monument, including cathedral-like vaults, glass roof and steel beams. The Station is conveniently located close to the Potsdamer Platz giving hassle-free access by underground train and plentiful parking nearby.
