(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
SchwuZ
The tour begins at SchwuZ, one of Berlin's most iconic LGBTQ+ clubs. Here, you’ll learn about the impact of the Berlin Wall on the city's nightlife and how Romy Haag, a trans pioneer, helped revolutionize the nightclub scene in the 1970s. You’ll hear how the gay community and clubs like Metropol set the stage for the Techno revolution that would later define Berlin. SchwuZ’s history is also deeply intertwined with activism, particularly during the AIDS crisis, and it remains a cultural hotspot for the LGBTQ+ community today.
SO36
Next, we’ll head to SO36, a club that embodies the spirit of West Berlin in the 1970s. We’ll discuss the economic struggles of the time, which helped shape the local club scene. SO36 became a hub for punk, feminism, and counterculture, and you’ll learn about the involvement of music legends like David Bowie and Iggy Pop. The club also played an important role in Berlin’s Turkish community and has diversified over the years, with events like Kreuzberg CSD and Mad & Disabled Pride. The club’s ongoing influence as a space of solidarity and inclusion continues today.
Tresor
The tour continues with a visit to Tresor, a world-renowned techno club located in a former GDR power plant. We’ll explore the historical significance of clubs built in abandoned buildings after the fall of the Berlin Wall and how Tresor became a symbol of Berlin's techno movement.
