Discover the many sides of this East Westphalian city
With 330,000 inhabitants, Bielefeld is the largest city in the Ostwestfalen-Mitte region, and its origins go back as far as the 9th century. The city spreads across three different natural landscapes: the Ravensberg Basin to the north, the Teutoburg Forest ridge running from north-west to south-east, and the Münsterland Bight to the south. Set in this varied countryside, Bielefeld is also shaped by its regional cultural history, which can be traced back to the days of the Roman Empire. For these and many other reasons, the East Westphalian city offers a surprising range of possibilities for exciting team experiences.
For teams interested in culture, Bielefeld is perfect for exploring. You’ll wander through the pretty lanes of the old town and past landmarks such as the imposing Sparrenburg, the charming Alter Markt and the Leineweber-Denkmal (linen weavers’ monument). Take a break over food and enjoy some time together at the historic Gasthaus Buschkamp. If you’re after adventure in the great outdoors, the surrounding Teutoburg Forest is the right setting for outdoor events such as Crossgolf, the Team-Parcours or an exciting GPS-Rallye.
In the Ravensberger Park, disused industrial buildings such as the old Hechelei have been given a new lease of life and now serve as modern event venues. With its distinctive historic atmosphere, the venue is perfect for Christmas parties, summer parties, anniversaries and conferences. The extensively restored historic buildings of the Lenkwerk also provide a setting for events like no other. Surrounded by vintage cars and contemporary design, you and your team will find an inspiring setting here.
from €59Pick five challenges from a pool, such as the Mario Kart balloon hunt, Cube Challenge or pipeline building. Everyone chases points in changing teams, with medals, Crémant or a cup on request.
from €49iPad, walkie-talkie and a virtual city map: teams hunt for points, complete tasks and answer questions about your company. Fifteen minutes before the end, the live scores disappear – and that’s when it gets really tense.
from €49Las Vegas without the risk: at authentic tables you bet, bluff and sweat it out with play money, playing roulette, poker, craps and blackjack.
from €49Steer DJI drones through an obstacle course (touching an obstacle adds a time penalty), guide Sphero balls using an iPad and build a drone even though only half the team can see the instructions.
from €49Everyone gets a real djembe, and our drum coaches lead you step by step from a body percussion warm-up to the big final arrangement. Nobody needs any musical experience.
from €59A large CRT television with an N64, a Carrera track and remote-controlled Mario Karts: across three challenges, teams go head to head in races that mix retro nostalgia with full-throttle action. The winning team gets to pop the corks.
from €59Five winter challenges, from stacking giant presents to building a sleigh in Santa’s workshop: teams collect points towards the overall score, and everyone celebrates together at the awards ceremony, indoors or outdoors.
from €59Wheelbarrow course, hay bale run, milking contest and horseshoe throwing: teams collect points in proper farmyard challenges. The team with the most points takes the golden pitchfork home.
from €49Sandcastle building, a water relay and coconut boules: in small groups you go barefoot from station to station, to a soundtrack of summer hits. We bring the sun cream – safety first!
from €39Longbows with no sights and no technical gadgetry, four ways to compete and a balloon-shooting finale: after a briefing and some warm-up shots, even beginners hit the bullseye. Every team gets its own protective gear.
from €69Build your own cajóns from high-quality kits, then play rhythms in several parts as a team, guided by drum coaches. You can take your box drum home.
from €59Golf without a golf course: clubs in hand, you head over hill and dale, with team tasks such as the golf ball pipeline and ladder golf waiting along the way. In the end, the best team handicap wins.
from €39All the atmosphere of the pub, darts included: teams play 301 through a preliminary round and a knockout stage for the title of company darts champion, while a cheeky hosting team comments on every throw.
from €55Fly drones, send robotic balls racing each other or steer racing cars using an iPad: in this tournament, teams compete using VR, robotics and AI. You choose the stations.
from €35Every team builds its own section of a giant chain reaction out of dominoes, LEGO and Kapla planks. After the countdown, down it all goes – in the meeting room, the conference hotel or the office.
from €79Design a flag, christen your boat, start paddling: the teams race each other in dragon boats while a drummer sets the beat. The winning team gets Crémant, and the flags go on to decorate the canteen.
from €49The feel of curling, minus the ice: on mobile plastic lanes the teams slide their stocks towards the target – in a company building, a hotel or outdoors. Strategy, precision and plenty of cheering.
from €49Sherwood Forest by torchlight: after a short briefing from our trainers, even beginners pick up a longbow and take on the other teams.
from €99Time to clock off and join the video call: with the hosts broadcasting live from a real bar, everyone mixes two cocktails using the contents of the treat box, tries four craft beers and ticks off bingo numbers in between, until a cry of “BINGOOO” echoes through the call.
from €139We set up the stalls right on your company grounds: candied almonds, mulled wine and a winter BBQ, plus an Eisstock curling lane and archery by torchlight if you like.
from €69From wooden planks, hemp ropes, securing straps and barrels, the teams build their own raft, hoist the pirate flag and put on a show to christen it, then take to the water for the regatta.
from €49Soccer-Toss, Quiz-Ball and more: you choose the football activities from over a dozen challenges, and we build them into a tournament that runs from the preliminary rounds to the final – with a golden cup on request.
from €59Geocaching with an expedition rucksack: teams head out into your city in search of the secret of Christmas, solve puzzles and track down hiding places. Homemade Glühwein (hot mulled wine) keeps the cold at bay.
from €55Backpack, walkie-talkie and GPS device: teams hunt for hidden caches, solve puzzles based on their surroundings and tackle challenges together along the way, whether through the undergrowth or the urban jungle.
from €49Soft balls down long corridors, minigolf balls through the spa area, glowing balls in a darkened meeting room: six golf stations turn your office or hotel into a golf course. Do mind the coffee mug!

from €49Frozen lake, snowball pipeline, guess the spice and Santa charades: all teams start at their stations at the same time and chase points. Santa hats are included.
from €49Build company cars, pull off an emergency operation in the Emergency Room or raise a tower: you put your course together from over 20 tasks. And the only way to get it done is together.
from €84The wooden kit lands in your home office, a live host talks you through building the insect hotels over a video call, and a beekeeper tells you about local flora and fauna. The package also includes seeds for a bee-friendly meadow.
from €49Your own table football championship: every team founds a club, name and all, then battles through the group stage and knockout rounds while commentators guide you through the tournament like a Saturday-night football show.
from €79Your very own table football table is built from a kit, then christened in a tournament. The fastest team to finish building gets to play at home in the opening match, and the tables can be donated afterwards.
from €49Each artists’ collective paints its own canvas around your theme. Then the canvases come together as one large artwork for your company – with a bird’s-eye drone photo, if conditions allow.
from €59The creative box with two canvases, acrylic paints in twelve colours and brushes arrives at home in advance, then everyone paints live on a video call, guided by a professional artist. An online exhibition of your artwork rounds it all off.
from €49Write the script, pick costumes and false beards, shoot, edit: every film crew makes its own short film with an iPad and a collection of props. At the end, all the films are screened at your very own film festival, nominations included.
from €35As a new Europol task force, the teams hunt a master thief: armed with an agent’s case, a puzzle box and a postcard under UV light, they solve puzzles against the clock – and must tread carefully, because their adversary is hot on their heels.
from €79The rhythm package brings a cajón kit to each home office, and everyone builds it live on the video call with step-by-step guidance. Then it’s time to drum along to classic songs on the livestream.
Bielefeld offers a broad range of event venues that suit all kinds of events. Whether historic buildings, modern conference hotels or impressive natural settings, there’s a fitting home for every event here. The SchücoArena is where DSC Arminia Bielefeld plays its home games. The stadium, steeped in tradition, first opened in 1926 as the “Bielefelder Alm” and has been renovated many times since. Today the venerable ground is a modern arena complex that is also an excellent choice for corporate events – but where it counts, you can still feel the spirit of the old Alm, of course. Bielefeld has everything you need for conferences and related events lasting several days: the Steigenberger Hotel Bielefelder Hof combines timeless elegance with modern comfort, the LÉGÈRE HOTEL impresses with its stylish ambience, and the Mercure Hotel Bielefeld Johannisberg stands out with its fantastic location. At the Founders Foundation, there’s space for inspiring events and productive collaboration in a start-up atmosphere. For events close to nature, the Obersee and its picturesque setting offer ideal conditions for a varied range of outdoor activities, while the Japanischer Garten (Japanese Garden) is a quiet oasis for relaxing and for creative team events.
The Teutoburg Forest, setting of the famous Battle of the Teutoburg Forest, is a place for outdoor adventures and leisurely walks in nature. Its ridge of hills and the popular Hermannsweg hiking trail run right through the city. Climb the 180 m Sparrenberg together and admire the city’s landmark, the Sparrenburg, up close. You can also combine this with one of our adventurous activities such as the GPS-Rallye.
The Hechelei, an architectural relic of Bielefeld’s linen industry, now offers an incomparable atmosphere for corporate events of every kind. The ruins of the former building have been transformed into a versatile event space spread over two levels. Brick architecture and modern fittings create the space and ambience for productive conferences, fun team events or festive company parties. Whatever the occasion, your event is sure to become a memorable highlight here.
The SchücoArena is not only a place of pilgrimage for football fans from all over Germany, but also a first-class venue for conferences, company parties and staff outings. Add a choice of our action-packed activities to your programme, and your visit becomes a real stadium spectacle. Take on team challenges such as our Kickerbau event (building your own table football table) or the teamio 3-Kampf, all in a genuine stadium atmosphere. The flexible rooms offer plenty of space for groups of any size.
