Tech/material insurance

As in the last year, production, artists and camps are supported by a tech material insurance.. But it has some restrictions:

  • We can only cover items and materials with our material insurance for things that are mandatory for the vent. This would be for example: sound systems, expensive tools, DJ equipment, stages, constructions etcetc
  • We do NOT cover any kind of private items such as phones, ipads, tablets, private cameras etcetc. We'll remove items which appear to be too personal. Musical instruments are also not covered, be as careful with them as you would be everywhere else.
  • The insurance is mostly to cover damage of things. It has a decuctible/excess of €200, so entering devices with a lower value it is probably pointless.
  • While the insurance would cover theft, it won't pay for tech being stolen which is laying around, we/you might have to prove that it was stolen from a locked room. And even then the insurance is paying only for 75% of the value.

DEADLINE 30th May 2019 (it is unclear if the coverage can be extended if you make up your mind too late and come late with something very expensive)
If you have any questions please reach out to Owl (owl@berlinburner.de)

Hi all,
I've got some information about liablility insurance which I would like to discuss. There were some aspects about that topic which I just learned, so I want to summarize (please correct me where I'm wrong):
a) Kiez Burn insurance was a bit more expensive that Burning Bär because of the different fire art works and performances.
b) There could be potentially more than one event during the year which could be insured.
c) There might be the need of a general liability insurance for the verein.
d) There was a accident insurance included (for build- and strike-helpers without health insurance)

from a, b and c I'm thinking the year-round-event-insurance of Schwandt could be an option, since it could include the general liablitiy insurance for the verein for free, and it would cost a similar price to buying a one-time-insurance and the general insurance ... Mr. Höhne of Schwandt insurance is working on offers. He said since they had to use a different insurance company, they can't create the offer by themself, but have to get it from the company which takes more time. He'll also prepare an offer for the year-round-event insurance ("Mediapolice")

I've talked to the insurance broker today (twice). The fire part is a bit tricky for them in the negotiations with the insurance company. While the negotiations are still ongoing, the insurance broker can provide us (and the Gemeindeamt) with a Versicherungsbestätigung (insurance confirmation) which is usually sufficient for the permit. He promised to do that tomorrow first in the morning. Today afternoon I'd sent him all the necessary documentation. The only thing I don't have is that he mentioned two years ago we had some sort of presentation about the plans with fire installation. Does anybody has it (I'll gonna ask around at the leads meeting, too)?

Hi @holgerwessels , thank you so much for organizing the tech insurance!
I had a question:
On the sheet it says: Sound Systems, expensive tools, DJ equipment is covered, however musical instruments are not covered. Where do we draw the line here?

For Musotopia we bring a lot of (musical) equipment, that is crucial for realizing our contribution for Kiez Burn 2019. In that sense, for us it is mandatory for the event.
For example I will bring a keyboard that is worth around 1500€. I will also bring a DJ controller that is worth around 1500€. It's ok to get the DJ controller insured, but not ok to get the keyboard insured? Is it possible to insure a sound mixer, that connects all instruments to the sound system?

So, I‘ve found a new deal with the insurance company. Our way of combined worker&participants is still difficult to them, everywhere else it is either someone ordered (and paid) by the event organizers, or paying spectator ... everyone helping with build and strike is now treated as a (unpaid) freelancer, but we can raise the number of setup and strike helpers. We still need applications via the form, and for the additional people the extended deadline is Thursday noon (13..6. 12:00). Don’t forget if you have more people on your build and/or strike team, you also might need more food and drinks and fluffing .... So, don't for get:

extended Deadline for mandantory Build&Strike insurance: Thursday (Jun 13th) 12:00 (noon)

Tech insurance: some things people had put on the list don't qualify for our type of event insurance: musical instruments, cars, tools. Our insurance covers event electronics and set construction, but no saws and other things professionals usualy use for building. The car still works as a locked room for expensive goods, because it has to be opened by force, and that could be investigated by the police. Stolen insured devices would still be imbursed with only 75%, 25% would be our share, so everyone should be carefull, especially since the area is partly open to the public.
