Berghain and its associated Panorama Bar are considered one of the most defining addresses of techno culture worldwide. Housed in a former power station in Berlin-Friedrichshain, the club pairs monumental industrial architecture with a sound system regarded as one of the best in the world.
The ground floor is dominated by hard, driving techno on the main floor, while the Panorama Bar above lets in daylight through large windows and leans musically more varied and house-oriented. The strict, unpredictable door policy has long been part of the venue's legend, sparking conversation far beyond Berlin.
As an openly lived, sex-positive and queer-friendly space, the club stands for a club culture centered on anonymity, freedom and respectful coexistence - one that continues to set the benchmark for clubs worldwide.
