The Snax brand lives on at Berghain’s current home, while the old Ostgut has made way for Berlin’s Mercedes-Benz arena (formerly the O₂ ). However, its roots go much further back.īerghain as we know it today is the reincarnation of the legendary Ostgut club, which ran successfully from 1998-2003, and emerged as a male-only fetish nightclub called Snax. Or, at least, the printable ones…īerghain opens in current location (2004)īerghain’s current location is nestled between two prominent Berlin districts (Kreuzberg and Friedrichshain, hence the name) and first opened as a nightclub in 2004. With all this in mind, we decided to run through some of the club’s most iconic moments. From chief bouncer Sven Marquardt to its iconic Wolfgang Tillmans artwork to its strict no cameras policy, Berghain really is unlike any other club on the planet. Not to mention an exceptional music policy and a soundsystem that’s among the world’s best.Ī byword for all that’s great about electronic music, anyone who’s witnessed Berghain in all its glory can testify to its undoubted brilliance. While other such venues would have cashed in by now with world tours and gimmicky nights, Berghain has vehemently stuck to what made it so successful in the first place, namely a stringent door policy, a steadfast refusal to compromise and an all-round liberal and tolerant attitude. A true adult playground, the notorious former powerplant officially opened as a club in 2004 and has since left an inimitable mark on the electronic music scene. No club on earth goes deeper, longer or harder than Berlin’s Berghain. ![]()
