About us

We are passionate hosts

Hosts with a passion

When we say host, we focus in particular on giving. Because that’s what everything we do is about: GIVING the guest something.

This can be a brief moment of pleasure when you taste the first bite of one of our dishes, or the lasting enjoyment in our various restaurants.

People at Axel Springer creating catering and events

First of all, PACE is an acronym for People At Axel Springer Creating Catering And Events. In purely formal terms, PACE is a wholly owned subsidiary of Axel Springer SE, Europe’s leading digital publisher, and is responsible for the two business areas of event management and catering within the Group. However, the word PEOPLE is particularly important to us. All PACE employees are passionately committed to our mission of ensuring satisfied visitors to our events and restaurants every day.

lettuce celebrate diversity

We at PACE share this vision and are convinced that diversity and inclusion promote the well-being and health of our employees and thus form the basis for the success of our company. We are committed to ensuring that the working environment at PACE is characterized by diversity, that everyone can freely develop their opinions and talents and that creativity, innovation and new perspectives can emerge. Inclusion is also important to us, which is why we approach the diversity of our employees in an inclusive, respectful and appreciative manner.

Apprentices, interns, chefs, service staff, kitchen assistants, cashiers, controllers, buyers, HR specialists and IT experts all work here. Only you are missing!
