Infos
The Sägewerk Festival is heading into its fourth edition and will take place from August 28–31, 2025. Once again, we’re lucky to return to the former Cottbus-Drewitz airfield in Brandenburg – and this time, things already kick off on Thursday!
There’ll be four floors featuring a wide range of music. Of course, the classic khisdapaze sound will be there, but we’re also mixing it up a bit so that hopefully everyone finds something they enjoy. This year, we’re excited to introduce a dedicated live stage for the first time to add even more variety. Beyond the music, you can expect all kinds of weird and wonderful things happening around the site, with lots of hidden corners to discover along the way.
Some of you may have heard that we had to deal with a few unexpected challenges this time. Due to environmental protection requirements, we’ve had some extra costs to cover – which means ticket prices have gone up a little. We hope that makes sense. On the bright side, drink prices at the bars will stay as low as you're used to, and the food options will be more varied than ever.
We can’t wait to see you <3

Arrival
and
departure
The exact address of the Cottbus-Drewitz airfield is Flugplatzstr. 1, 03197 Jänschwalde (coordinates: 51.884123571199325, 14.532970037272362). The site is easy to reach by Sägebus, train, bicycle or car. You are welcome to arrive from Thursday, 28.08.25, from 12:00.
Sägebus
The most comfortable way to get to Sägewerk from Berlin will be the Sägebus again this year. On Thursday and Friday there will be outward journeys from the long-distance bus stop at the station Berlin Südkreuz at 12:00 and 18:00 and on Sunday and Monday return journeys from the festival site back to Südkreuz also at 12:00 and 18:00. The price for one journey is €25, so outward and return journey together for €50. You want to ride in the Sägebus? Then click here for your ticket:
Train
The nearest train station, Jänschwalde Ost, is just 1.5 km from the festival site. It is therefore a good idea to travel by train. It takes just under two hours from Berlin. If the walk from the station to the festival site (approx. 20-30 minutes) is too far, it’s best to bring a bike. Alternatively there will be also a shuttle service. Information will follow soon.
Bike
We have created the attached Telegram group for all sports enthusiasts among you who would like to cycle to Sägewerk:
Car/Camper
If you decide to come with a motorized vehicle, please make sure you buy the appropriate ticket. You can find them in our ticket portal. Please form carpools, because cars with empty seats are not nice.
If you want to sleep in your car/camper, please buy a "Sleeping-Vehicle-Ticket". Vehicles with such a ticket may not be parked on the meadow itself, but directly next to it. This still allows you to form a camp together with your camping friends.
For "normal" cars, there will be a designated parking lot near the camping meadow. Please buy the "Car-Parking-Ticket" if you do not want to sleep in your vehicle.
Umwelt
We, khisdapaze e.V., are committed to putting environmental awareness at the center of our work and to improving our efforts year after year so that the Sägewerk Festival can be organized as sustainably and eco-friendly as possible. To achieve this, we’ve set internal goals and developed a comprehensive environmental concept that takes into account the key aspects of planning and running a festival in a natural environment.
As part of the khisdapaze family, we want to encourage all of you to join us in this commitment by treating the festival site with respect and care.
Building on topics we’ve already focused on last year, such as environmental education, waste separation, biodegradable products, and resource-conscious practices, this year we’ve paid a lot attention to species protection. In close collaboration with local authorities and environmental planners, we’ve developed protection measures for ground-nesting birds and reptiles, including the rescheduling of the festival to late summer in order to avoid disrupting their breeding and habitats.
And because climate action starts with understanding, we’ve also put our heads together to implement a calculation system for the CO₂ footprint of the Sägewerk Festival. It helps us measure, understand, and ultimately reduce the festival’s climate impact.

Information
Awareness
At our events, we - as the khisdapaze collective - want everyone to feel comfortable. We strive for a non-discriminatory, peaceful and non-judgmental space where everyone can have a good time together. We recognize that discrimination can also occur at our events. To counteract this, we have drawn up a Code of Conduct - a shared set of values. We have an awareness team at all of our events.
Inclusion
Participation for Everyone – that's our goal for the Sägewerk Festival! We're working to remove various types of accessibility barriers to accommodate the individual needs of all visitors.
Local networking
Since winter of 2024, the local networking team has been working to build stronger connections between the Sägewerk Festival and the region surrounding the event location near Drewitz. For the 2025 edition of the festival, the main focus is on involving local artists and contributors, as well as links to the neighborhood. Are you living in the area and want to be part of it with your artistic or hands skills? Or have ideas or questions? Feel free to reach out to vernetzung@khisdapaze.de
Camping
A large campground where you can set up camp will be located just a few meters from the festival site. Please treat the site with care. If you return a full garbage bag at the end of the festival, you will receive your €10 trash deposit back in cash.
Rules
We are also just guests on the site. Therefore, please only throw away garbage in the garbage bags and do pee-pee only in the toilets. Open fires are prohibited. The entire festival area will be fenced in and it is strictly forbidden to enter other parts of the airfield. Please stay exclusively in the area made available to us.
