About Ritter Butzke
Ritter Butzke is a techno club in Kreuzberg, Berlin, set in former factory halls of the Butzke-Werke, with its entrance at Ritterstraße 24-27. It first opened in those halls in 2007, ran for a few months in the Haus am Köllnischen Park, and returned to Ritterstraße in October 2009. The club is operated by Ritter Butzke Production GmbH, whose managing directors are Robert Weidemann and Sebastian Riedel.
The club has up to three floors, and one of them is partly open-air in summer, in a red brick courtyard. The music is mostly techno and tech house with many melodic techno bookings: the autumn 2026 programme lists NTO, Kollektiv Turmstrasse, Worakls and Oliver Koletzki alongside parties such as Keep My Letters and Community Rave. Nights usually start at 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays, and one ticket covers every open floor. Ritter Butzke also runs the label Ritter Butzke Records and a YouTube channel of full sets recorded at the club.
