Kiel on the Baltic Sea, event planning with adebar
Incentive and group trip in Kiel with adebar

What sets our event agency in Kiel apart?

Kiel is the Hanseatic state capital of Schleswig-Holstein and Germany's northernmost city. It wraps around the fjord like a horseshoe, and almost every programme here draws on the water. For incentives, team building, conferences or corporate events, the Kiel Fjord offers plenty of options in every season.

adebar is a full-service event agency from the Baltic coast, founded by Anne Horstmann, with its head office on the Darß peninsula. We take on the concept, delivery and follow-up, covering content, organisation and logistics.

Corporate event in Kiel, planned by adebar

Event planning in Kiel with a maritime culture

Around your company or team event, this Baltic Sea and Hanseatic city has plenty to offer you and your guests:

  • Sights: Kiel City Hall with its square and the neighbouring parks are firm favourites. The Botanical Garden and the Palace Garden are also popular places for an outing.
  • Kiel Week: Around three million visitors come to Kiel Week every year in the last full week of June. The sailing regatta has been held since the 19th century and is one of the largest sailing events in the world. Kiel also hosted the Olympic sailing competitions in 1936 and 1972.
  • Maritime highlights: For even more sea air, visit the Maritime Museum, the Laboe Naval Memorial and the lighthouses at Kiel-Friedrichsort and Kiel-Holtenau. Or step aboard the museum ship U 995, a submarine from the Second World War.
  • Fish rolls by the fjord: The fish is processed at the Kiel fish market and sold along the Kiellinie promenade. The best way to try one is on a walk by the water.

Getting there is easy: the "Kielius" airport bus takes around 50 minutes from Hamburg Airport to Kiel, and the main station and central bus station are right in the city centre. You will find programme ideas, from a ship tour at the Ostseekai to sunset sailing, on our Incentive Kiel page.

What does adebar's all-round service cover for events in Kiel?
In Kiel almost everything revolves around the fjord, and so do many of our ideas for your event. We plan incentives, kick-off meetings, conferences and team events in full, from the concept to the follow-up. Whether it is a day on the Kiel Fjord, a programme in Northern Germany or a trip beyond Germany's borders, you get everything from a single source, in person, hybrid or digital. Well-known companies have trusted our creative planning for 29 years. We are happy to take up your own ideas. We handle the safety concept, travel logistics and staff planning with the same care as the programme. Meanwhile you can concentrate on your day-to-day business.
Why book an event agency in Kiel for team building?
Keeping employees takes more attention today than it used to. Where skilled workers are scarce, the rule is often that "the company has to apply to the employee". Yet day-to-day business leaves little room for feedback and motivation. A team building event on the Baltic Sea creates that room. In Kiel your team can paddle past the Olympic marina on stand-up paddleboards, learn knots on a sailing tour of the fjord, solve an escape game together or round off the evening on the beach with a fire bowl and stick bread. We advise you as a partner, are easy to reach and stick to the schedule.
What services does adebar offer for your event in Kiel?
A dedicated project manager plus a dedicated deputy from enquiry to final invoice, and short decision-making paths: that is how we plan your event in Kiel. We advise you, develop ideas, the concept and the schedule for virtual, hybrid and in-person events, and check venues with inspections and pre-tours. Decoration is part of it too. Behind the scenes we take care of staff planning, technical planning with CAD software, the entertainment programme and the safety concept. For your guests we organise incentives, city tours, guided walks, participant management and travel logistics with hotels, arrival, departure and shuttles. We are there for you on site, and afterwards we handle the follow-up and measure the results. That applies to incentive trips, team building, conferences, evening events, anniversary celebrations, staff parties, coaching sessions and kick-off events.
Is adebar only active in Kiel?
No. Kiel is one of our destinations in the north, and we also plan throughout Germany and Europe, in big cities as well as in the countryside. We have 29 years of experience with large-scale events and are just as happy to deliver small one-day events. Our Destinations page gives you an overview of every destination with its own programmes. We will also gladly plan at a venue of your choice.
Which companies has adebar worked with as an event agency in Kiel and Northern Germany?
As a full service we have supported Mercedes-Benz, AIDA, Optris, Küchenring, Maersk, Telekom, Darboven, Statista, DKB, Vattenfall, Jägermeister, STRABAG, E.ON, Kalorimeta, Schülke & Mayr and Novartis, among others, from planning to follow-up. Whether you are a large company or an SME from Schleswig-Holstein, get in touch. Our advice is free of charge and without obligation.
Why choose adebar as your event agency in Kiel?
We know the north and bring 29 years of experience in full-service destination management. Our network reaches across Germany and Europe. We plan creatively and precisely, meet our deadlines and coordinate with you quickly and as a partner, in Kiel as much as anywhere else.
How long has adebar been planning events?
We founded adebar near Rostock in 1997, on the Baltic coast as well. Since then we have added a great many events, reliable partners and solutions that cover every side of an event. Today our network reaches right across Europe, but Rostock, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Northern Germany remain at the centre. Companies planning something special in and around Kiel benefit from that too.
What budget should you plan for an event in Kiel?
There is no fixed price, because every event in Kiel is put together differently. What matters is the type and length, the size of the group and any entertainment programme. The venue, travel costs, season and accommodation play a part, as do the safety concept, staff planning and other variable items. After the free initial conversation, we send you a quote with no obligation that sets out the main cost items, subject to change. If your wishes change during planning, we tell you in good time and openly what that means for the costs.

What our clients say

  • For our Chapter Summit 2021, adebar organised and ran the “raft building” event. In the end there were around 60 adults and children. The adebar team adapted wonderfully to this challenge, and the event was a complete success.

  • Uncomplicated, pragmatic, spontaneous and helpful in finding the right incentive trip. Everyone has the fondest memories of our team trip to Regensburg. There was something for every taste. In short: a success.
