Padel FC put indoor padel in Berlin first, in a hall on the Köpenicker Chaussee with a twelve-metre ceiling and unplastered concrete walls that the venue has sensibly left alone. Nine courts in total: five indoor doubles, two indoor singles, and two outdoor courts directly on the Spree, which are the ones to ask for in June.
The venue is also the one with a famous name attached — Jürgen Klopp is an investor, which got the hall more press at opening than any padel venue in the city has had since. What it means in practice is a serious build quality and a venue that runs leagues and open matches rather than only selling court hours.
Getting there
Ostkreuz and Rummelsburg are both a walk away, on the S-Bahn from anywhere in the city; the Köpenicker Chaussee is also easy by bike along the river. There is free parking at the venue, which is unusual this close to the ring.
Running a session here
Padel FC has 7 courts, and a 90-minute booking is the slot to plan around. That fixes almost everything else about the evening.
- Bring 28 to 37 players. 28 is everyone on court every round; past that you are running a sit-out queue, which is fine but somebody has to track it.
- Expect about 6 rounds once you take out warm-up and changeovers — play each to 32 points so every court finishes together and the scores stay comparable.
- At 37 players, 9 people sit out each round. 7 courts tops out at 37 players before the sit-out queue is longer than the court time.
- The 2 singles courts are left out of those numbers — they seat two, so they take no round of a four-player rotation. Useful for a warm-up, or for whoever is sitting one out.
Formats that fit
- Americano a full rotation at 28 players is 27 rounds and the booking holds 6, so you play a slice of it. Fine for an evening, but the standings are a snapshot rather than a complete table.
- Mexicano re-pairs by the standings each round, so the games stay close. 6 rounds is enough for the table to mean something.
- King of the Court needs about 14 rounds to climb 7 courts, and the booking gives 6.
| Courts | Everyone plays | Up to |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 5 |
| 2 | 8 | 10 |
| 3 | 12 | 16 |

| 7 | 28 | 37 |
Seven doubles courts — five inside, two on the river — is twenty-eight players on court, and the split is the useful part: an evening for twenty-eight can run the whole group indoors, or put two courts' worth outside in summer and keep the rest under the roof. In a 90-minute booking at 32 points you get six rounds, so a Mexicano is the format; a full Americano at twenty-eight players is twenty-seven rounds and is not happening.
Common questions
- How many courts does Padel FC have?
- Nine: seven indoors (five doubles and two singles) and two outdoor courts beside the Spree.
- Is Padel FC the same as Padelhaus?
- The booking platform lists the venue under Padelhaus GmbH, the company behind it. The venue itself trades as Padel FC.
- Can you play here all year?
- Yes. Seven of the nine courts are inside a heated hall, and the two river-side courts are the summer bonus rather than the plan.
