Chute – Event Venue
“kukki covers two important points for us: We don’t need specially trained bartenders, and we’re independent of daily deliveries.”

Christian, the owner’s brother, takes us on a tour of this special place: “In summer, this is the most beautiful spot in all of Potsdam!” And you can tell right away – because on the barge, you can spend the day exactly as you like: whether wakeboarding, water skiing or stand-up paddleboarding, sunbathing on the pier, or enjoying a refreshing drink with a view of the lake.
A real highlight: the ice-cold kukki cocktails, which have become an essential part of the barge. The cocktails perfectly match the relaxed atmosphere and are a big hit with guests.
Alongside sports and drinks, the barge’s culinary offerings are another major draw: the kitchen combines high-quality products from the Pirsch butcher shop with creative vegetarian and vegan dishes. Whether you’re looking for a small snack or a leisurely dinner, you can enjoy your meal here with a view of the lake.

And for those who want to experience even more: The sun deck and the main deck make the barge the perfect event venue. Whether weddings, corporate celebrations, concerts or exhibitions – every event here becomes a truly special experience. The combination of water, music, great food and a relaxed atmosphere creates genuine goosebump moments.
So if you’re looking for a place that combines water fun, culinary delights and an event atmosphere, then the barge in Potsdam is exactly your spot.
