The salon is named after Hildegard Dahlmann, the last owner of the house, before family Miettinen bought it in 2010. With the Salon Dahlmann, Timo Miettinen is establishing a link to Berlin’s salon culture tradition which originates not far from the Marburger 3, in the area of the Kurfürstendamm in West Berlin. The collector and host wishes his salon to present an eclectic program including a range of different formats. He wants to open his space up to organizers of external events looking for a suitable location for workshops, concerts, performances, exhibitions and other interesting encounters. Marburger 3 also represents a family project initiated by Timo Miettinen and his three sisters Marjo Miettinen, Anu Miettinen and Taru Kokkomäki.
