The Berlin Ice Palace was a versatile ice sports and event hall for around 4500 visitors in Martin-Luther-Straße 14-18 (new house number counting since 1936) in the Berlin district of Schöneberg . The hall was opened on August 31 and September 1, 1908, and was largely destroyed by bombs in 1943 . The refrigeration systems came from Borsig .
use
Due to financial difficulties of the builder Fedor Berg, who had speculated with the house Cumberland on Kurfürstendamm , the Eispalast AG got into trouble. Therefore, the palace was converted into an ice cream vaudeville in 1912 (other sources indicate 1913). With the First World War, bankruptcy and the closure of the Ice Palace followed in 1915.
The hall with the refrigeration system was then used to store meat reserves. In 1919 the Norddeutsche Eiswerke acquired the Berlin Ice Palace from Borsig. In spring 1920 the palace opened as a variety and revue theater Scala . In 1943 a large part of the building was destroyed by bombs.
