This welcoming space is located in the basement of the House of Literature. The walls are lined with the book collection of Mia Berner, who was a philosopher, sociologist, and author. The collection was donated to the House of Literature after her passing in 2009, and visitors to the room will notice a portrait of Berner.

Berner can be rented in combination with one or more of our other halls. We arrange for direct transmission of audio and video on a large screen.
